Honorable
Mrs. Roosevelt,
My
uncle has been telling me of the help you have been giving to
the miners and their family's and I am an miners daughter. Age
18. I never fin¬ished school Because I was ill. My heart
was bad. It has been well for the past two years. But I cant
afford to go to school as my father is unable to work But draws
a government pension which is enough to support us but as we
have a large family it is not enough to dress us. I have earned
my tu¬ition for Business College working for a lady in our
town. I visited a girls club in California and one of the Subjects
was the Description of the White House and it was said the attic
of the White House was over flowing with discarded clothing
if this is true and you would send me some I am rather . . .
clever with a needle and I would be forever grateful
