Letter from Bertha Gray Zalinski to Theodore Roosevelt
Bertha Gray Zalinski apologizes for confusing Theodore Roosevelt, she sent Roosevelt two letters, but it appears he only read the second and therefore did not get all the details. Zalinski is trying to get her brother’s pension because she depended on him for support and helped him with his work. There are precedents, but Zalinski feels that because she is a woman, she is not being given the same treatment as those in similar situations but male. She hopes that because Roosevelt knew her brother, he might use his influence to help her.
