Theodore Roosevelt tells Jane Addams that he is “in a quandary.” Roosevelt received correspondence from someone claiming to be a soldier in need of assistance. In order to verify this, Roosevelt asks Addams to please read the letter and assess it for herself. Should she agree with his concern, he would like her to send a trusted person to check on this man and verify his situation and whether he was part of Roosevelt’s regiment. If he is indeed in need, he would like her to let him know so he can proceed with discharging the man and arranging for some money to assist him.
