Theodore Roosevelt writes to John Campbell Greenway to request his assistance in arranging accommodations in Arizona 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 Greenway to respond to Miss Holderman, living in Chetopa, Kansas.
