Letter from Mabel Alexander Needham to Theodore Roosevelt
Mabel Alexander Needham has recently separated from her husband, Henry Beach Needham. Her husband has claimed friendship with Theodore Roosevelt, and Needham writes to Roosevelt to reveal the truth of their separation and her ex-husband’s character. Henry Beach Needham has, in Mabel Alexander Needham’s view, neglected their young daughter. She hopes Theodore Roosevelt will sympathize with her situation and help to secure her a position as a private secretary so as to support her child now as a single mother.
