Letter from Mary Galvin to Alice Roosevelt Longworth

Mary Galvin asks for Alice Roosevelt’s help because she believes her husband, Maurice A. Galvin, was unjustly removed from his postal service position on charges of drunkenness. Galvin indicates that such a removal would greatly affect her and her children, labeling them as the wife and children of a drunkard. Their youngest son is also in poor health and the dismissal will affect his care.
