Alan Hudson asks Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt to write a letter about the place and work of a mother, to be read at a Mother’s Day celebration.

In a handwritten note, she instructs her secretary to decline because Theodore Roosevelt is no longer in public life. The letter should be similar to the one written to Success.
