Letter from Barbara MacGahan to Theodore Roosevelt
Barbara MacGahan is in Washington, D.C., and would like to personally thank President Roosevelt for a kindness paid to her family when Roosevelt was a New York City Police Commissioner. MacGahan credits Roosevelt for saving her son, who was ill with typhoid, by preventing organ grinders from performing on the street and therefore disturbing her son’s recovery.
