President Roosevelt is very concerned about the letter that Dr. Morgan wrote Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt about his son Ted’s eyes. It seems that Ted has not been wearing his corrective glasses and that now surgery will be necessary. Roosevelt urges his son to take care of his eyes and to wear his glasses and see the doctor. He instructs him to see the doctor at once and then to let his parents know both about his eyes and about how his studies are going.
