Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Mary P. H. Kieran

Subject(s): Committees, New York (State). Governor (1899-1901 : Roosevelt), Sisters of Mercy

Theodore Roosevelt informs Mary P. H. Kieran that he did not know the Sanatorium Gabriels has his name listed on the Advisory Committee and requests for them to take it down as it implies that Roosevelt is giving them advice. This is something Roosevelt does not have time for since he ended his governorship in New York 11 years ago. Roosevelt has heard great things about the institution and welcomes Kieran to continue using his name to endorse the institution or for reference.
