[Theodore Roosevelt by Theodore Roosevelt]@TWC D-Link bookTheodore Roosevelt CHAPTER V 71/76
I am only one of thousands of middle-class respectable women who give their lives to raise a nice family, and then who become bitter from the injustice done us.
Don't let this go into the waste-basket, but think it over. Yours respectfully, -- -- -- --. New York, January 11, 1913. _My Dear Mrs .-- --_: Most certainly your letter will not go into the waste-paper basket.
I shall think it over and show it to Mrs.Roosevelt.Will you let me say, in the first place, that a woman who can write such a letter is certainly not "hopelessly dull and uninteresting"! If the facts are as you state, then I do not wonder that you feel bitterly and that you feel that the gravest kind of injustice has been done you.
I have always tried to insist to men that they should do their duty to the women even more than the women to them.
Now I hardly like to write specifically about your husband, because you might not like it yourself.
