Louis H. Pink writes to Theodore Roosevelt on behalf of the United Neighborhood Guild. Pink informs Roosevelt that nearly 40,000 people a year move to Brooklyn, New York, and most of them are immigrants in need of financial assistance. The Guild needs more funding to support the community, but there are very few wealthy donors in the borough. Pink forwards Roosevelt a copy of their annual report and invites him to give a lecture at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for the benefit of the Guild.
