Pauline M. Procter gives voice to her grievances against Theodore Roosevelt, President William H. Taft, and Secretary of the Navy George von Lengerke Meyer for not properly supporting her during the past several years during which she was in a bad situation in Rome. While she admits that Roosevelt may have had legitimate political reasons for not meeting with her, she believes she should have been able to request aid as an American citizen, and that the lack of assistance has left her in her present poor situation. She has made several claims against individuals and countries, and hopes Roosevelt will not interfere with her in any way.
