Theodore Roosevelt writes to William H.H. Llewellyn to request his assistance in arranging accommodations in New Mexico for Pearl Holderman for health reasons. Roosevelt recalls Pearl’s deceased brother, Bert T. Holderman, who had served with the Rough Riders. Since she has little money, Roosevelt offers to personally pay her expenses “on behalf of the regiment.” Roosevelt asks Llewellyn to respond to Miss Holderman, living in Chetopa, Kansas.
