Letter from John M. Neal to Theodore Roosevelt
John M. Neal tells Theodore Roosevelt that he is a former Rough Rider who was injured during the division’s stay at Montauk Point following their deployment to Cuba. He was struck in the legs and injured. He was briefly treated at a volunteer hospital before returning to camp. He did not seek further care because he did not think the injury was serious. The injury turned out to be severe, and he now cannot get a pension without a hospital record. He asks Roosevelt if he has any information about the volunteer hospital at Montauk Point.
