Letter from Henry E. Huck to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry E. Huck sends Theodore Roosevelt a statement from a witness of the American Flag affair to accompany the flag he sent to President William H. Taft. Huck mentions he is currently being held at the Rosehurst sanitarium, but is at risk of being sent to an insane asylum due to his knowledge of the affair. Huck is scared that his doctors and the other people around him are not taking him seriously about this matter, but trusts Roosevelt to help him prove the truth.

Letter from Henry E. Huck to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry E. Huck tells Theodore Roosevelt about the difficulties with his sister Albertine Drummond, primarily that he is held at a sanitarium and is deprived of his rightful inheritance. He asks Roosevelt to speak to her and explain the situation. While he could have sold the story about the row and flag, the century’s biggest scandal, he refused. However, the resulting row will be dreadful if Huck is not given a hearing. Upon proving his sanity, he asks Roosevelt to help him get work to aid in keeping anarchists out of the United States.
