Peter Twamley is surprised that Theodore Roosevelt is not interested in his case, especially since he heard it is illegal to demote a veteran without proven charges. The demotion from sampler to laborer will significantly decrease Twamley’s salary. He feels Roosevelt should make an exception for him, as he is a Civil War veteran.
