Letter from Alford Warriner Cooley to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Bushnell, George E. (George Ensign), 1853-1924, Physicians, Sick

Alford Warriner Cooley is deeply grateful for President Roosevelt’s letter and decision to reappoint him to his previous position. He will plan to have his doctors reexamine him at the beginning of February, and will ask them to communicate with Roosevelt. Cooley is sure that neither would consent to him returning east unless he is entirely fit to do so.
