Theodore Roosevelt informs Anna Roosevelt Cowles that a nerve specialist has been in to consult with Alec Lambert on Edith Roosevelt’s condition, which has been worse for the last two or three days after her recent concussion and neck-vertebrae injury. The specialist suggested that she will not be able to see outsiders or have visitors in the house for the next two to three weeks, especially while nurses are with her around the clock, which means Cowles’s visit will need to be rescheduled. Roosevelt is extremely sorry and is still impressed with Ethel’s dedication and hopes she does not tire out.
