Henry E. Huck tells Theodore Roosevelt about the difficulties with his sister Albertine Drummond, primarily that he is held at a sanitarium and is deprived of his rightful inheritance. He asks Roosevelt to speak to her and explain the situation. While he could have sold the story about the row and flag, the century’s biggest scandal, he refused. However, the resulting row will be dreadful if Huck is not given a hearing. Upon proving his sanity, he asks Roosevelt to help him get work to aid in keeping anarchists out of the United States.
