Letter from John Brown to Theodore Roosevelt

John Brown, writing from Cuba, relates an incident when a “committee of ladies” wanted to see Alice Roosevelt but was turned away by General Wood. Afterwards, Brown heard Wood say that the ladies’ appeal could only go through him as his authority on Cuba supersedes that of President Roosevelt.
