Richard P. Keif repeats his earlier request of Theodore Roosevelt to recommend an honest lawyer to help him, having not received a response to his previous letter. Keif placed his stock in the care of a broker who stole the stock and sold it before declaring bankruptcy. Keif does not believe America has honest laws that are followed and has been unable to file charges against the man who robbed him.
