After talking to Dr. Morgan, President Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt believe it is best that Ted has his eye surgery as soon as possible, preferably within the next two months. He recommends that Ted either have the surgery right away, so his mother can come to Boston for it, or wait until after Kermit’s holiday trip on the Mississippi River. The next time he sees Ted, he would like to discuss several college matters with him and hopes he will take up the course at Prospect Union.
