Letter from George E. Megee to Theodore Roosevelt

George E. Megee gives Theodore Roosevelt an extensive history of himself, including his financial troubles revolving around a steam boat vessel which was destroyed in an incident involving night watchmen. Megee feels he has been unjustly treated, and is frustrated with how his local authorities and his country broadly-speaking have handled the situation. He asks Roosevelt for advice and/or assistance in this matter.
