President Roosevelt advises his son Theodore Roosevelt to schedule his eye operation now ahead of the Easter holiday, suggesting he stay with Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow or his Aunt Rosie for several days afterwards. He updates Roosevelt Jr. on Archie’s condition and how the rest of the children are doing. In a postscript, Roosevelt believes it would be better for Roosevelt Jr. to stay at a hospital for a few days following the operation.
