President Roosevelt has read Dean Hurlbut’s letter regarding Ted Roosevelt’s unexcused absence from Harvard University to the “harum-scarum individual.” Roosevelt explains that Ted has been recovering from injuries sustained from football and an elevator accident at home, as per his doctors’ advice. Roosevelt instructed Ted to write to Hurlbut, though Ted claims he already sent a letter. If there is anything else Roosevelt can do, Hurlbut should let him know.
