Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Elizabeth Towne
Theodore Roosevelt denies making a statement attributed to him by Prudence Stokes Brown and describes Brown’s assertions as a “preposterous falsehood.” Brown claimed that Roosevelt received a report revealing that “all of the work of the world” could be completed by able-bodied people without the need to employ the elderly or children.
