Gertrude Randall shares with Theodore Roosevelt the challenges Walter S. Randall and her family has faced due to his paralyzation that occurred at 2 years old. Due to his disability he has found it difficult to find work and if he doesn’t find a job soon he will have to separate from his wife to live with their seventy-year old father. Randall hopes Roosevelt can help her brother secure a position so that he may be able to support himself and his wife.
