Letter from H. Bascom Weaver to Richard H. Sylvester
Dr. Weaver writes to Chief Sylvester regarding his medical opinion of Laura Hull Morris’s mental condition. Weaver believes her to be “unbalanced mentally,” a “‘crank,'” and “suffering from a mild form of insanity.” He has chosen to break doctor-patient confidentiality because he believes the affair causes “the whole nation…to be brought into disrepute” and to assist in President Roosevelt’s vindication.
