President Roosevelt tells Robert Harry Munro Ferguson that he is very concerned about the news he hears about Ferguson, and wishes he could come and visit him and his wife Isabella Selmes Greenway. Roosevelt deeply appreciates the friendship Ferguson has with him and his family, and he wants to do whatever he can to help. (Ferguson was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1908, and Roosevelt is likely referring to this)
