Martha D. Lincoln writes to Theodore Roosevelt for advice and assistance, as she has used all of her savings to pay for the treatment of her late husband. She had previously published a book and pamphlet, but does not have the funds to reprint them to continue earning an income. Lincoln asks if Roosevelt might be able to help her find a job.
