Louise Adriana Wood informs President Roosevelt of her husband, Leonard Wood’s health. Wood’s symptoms of “brain irritation” have subsided but should they return he is recommended to see Sir Victor Horsley, a specialist in London. Louise Adriana Wood states that Wood’s general health is fine and that he believes he will be back to work next month. Louise Adriana Wood asks Roosevelt if there is anything that Wood can do for the next six months or until General Henry Clark Corbin returns, she would appreciate having Wood closer to immediate care should anything happen to him.
