Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt informs Helen Mitchell Bent that her letter was received too late to make any alterations to his speech and informs her that the matter she brings up is alien to what he is talking about. He questions if the subject matter is appropriate for a speech at all, but is in agreement with her view. Roosevelt wishes Bent could tell him more about what has been accomplished in the states where there is women suffrage, such as Colorado. He wishes to learn more about their experiences and the kinds of legislation needed.
