Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Endicott Peabody

Subject(s): Bones--Wounds and injuries, Clavicle, Medical care, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1887-1944

A second doctor has examined Ted Roosevelt’s broken collarbone and determined it was a very bad break or not treated properly. The break did not heal correctly and the bone is deformed, but Ted will be able to “resume his athletic work.” Roosevelt thinks the doctor who originally treated Ted’s injury should know about the second doctor’s opinion.
