Frances E. Monson asks Anna Roosevelt Cowles if her brother, President Roosevelt, can recommend a ranch where young men can go to “work hard in the open air all day,” with no access to alcohol. Her son, Charles Monson, is “fighting for his future against drinking” and would benefit from such a place.
