Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alexander Lambert

Subject(s): Care of the sick, Furuncle, Hospitality, Roosevelt, Archibald B. (Archibald Bulloch), 1894-1979

President Roosevelt asks Alexander Lambert to bring a scalpel and freezing apparatus when he visits tomorrow, as he has a boil that he may need looked at. Roosevelt mentions that his son Archie is also somewhat unwell, and that he would like Lambert to examine him too. Roosevelt jokingly says, “Now, I guess you will be sorry that you are coming to pay us a visit! I am forcing you to combine business with pleasure.”
