Letter from Julia Marion Grayson to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Alabama, Alabama--Selma, Mothers--Societies and clubs, Speeches, addresses, etc.

Julia Marion Grayson, President of the Selma Congress of Mothers, writes to Theodore Roosevelt on behalf of her organization. She has heard that Roosevelt will visit the south and address the Child Labor Congress in Birmingham, Alabama, and invites him to visit Selma and address her organization as well. Doing so would hopefully provide the impetus for the creation of more mothers clubs in Alabama, as there are presently only three.
