Charles E. Mills writes to Pearl Holderman, at the request of Theodore Roosevelt, to arrange accommodations for her in Arizona for health reasons. Mills commends the healthy climate, variety of food, and affordability of Phoenix, Arizona. Mills explains that Roosevelt first asked John Campbell Greenway to assist her, but due to Greenway’s absence, Mills as “next friend” will serve in his place. Mills explains that he and Greenway had served in the Rough Riders with her deceased brother, Bert T. Holderman. He promises “the regiment is anxious to help [her] in any way it can, and to carry out the Colonel’s wishes.”
