On behalf of Theodore Roosevelt, his secretary writes to Luke F. Parsons and declines his request for Roosevelt to intervene, as he has made it a policy not to interfere in official business. He recommends Mrs. Brandt write to the Commissioner for Pensions in Washington, D.C., and believes that she is incorrect in what she claims Roosevelt said. All he can do is refer her to the Commissioner.
