Laura A. Hull Morris appeals to President Roosevelt to intervene in reviewing her husband’s dismissal from a government job. Morris believes a family argument about a will has slandered her husband and herself. She also accuses her brother Iowa Representative John A. T. Hull and his wife of intentionally preventing her husband from having a position and attempting to force them out of Washington, D.C. Morris claims she has suffered insomnia over the matter for three years.
