William A. Madaris is helping Rough Rider John M. Neal secure a pension. He describes how Neal’s legs were damaged in an accident at Montauk Point. The women of a nearby “field hospital” treated Neal. Madaris asks Theodore Roosevelt for information about these women so Neal can contact them. Regarding a personal matter, Madaris requests a picture of Roosevelt to replace the one damaged while on display during his local patriotic event.
