Letter from Laura d’Oremieulx Roosevelt to William Loeb

Subject(s): Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

Laura d’Oremieulx Roosevelt tells William Loeb that it was very kind of him to write to her about her coachman, who was deeply gratified by Loeb’s letter. Roosevelt feels that her coachman would be well suited for a position “where honesty, sobriety, and trustworthiness are necessary,” although he does not feel that he would be suited for a clerical position. She confirms that she will meet President Roosevelt at the polling place on election day and will spend some time with him then.
