Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary tells Clara Brandt that he explained to Roosevelt the reason for her call, but he passes on his regrets that he is unable to help. He recommends writing to Wisconsin Governor Chase S. Osborn, as Osborn “is doing excellent work in that State and….if there is anything wrong regarding the carrying of the institution you mention that he would have an inquiry made and the whole thing put right.”
