Theodore Roosevelt explains to his son Ted that he met Madame Depage, who is delivering this letter, in Brussels. He would like the younger Roosevelt to help her fund raising efforts for Belgian field hospitals. She believes that California is a logical place to concentrate her efforts and the elder Roosevelt hopes the younger Roosevelt, along with his wife, Eleanor Butler Roosevelt, and her mother, Grace Green Alexander, will do all that they can to provide Madame Depage with introductions and advice.
