Letter from Joseph Gaston Baillie Bulloch to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Books and reading, Checks, Public health administration, Publishers and publishing

Joseph Gaston Baillie Bulloch returns the check Theodore Roosevelt sent, because his secretary had already sent one for the same amounts. He thanks Roosevelt for paying to subscribe to his publication, which he thinks will lose money. Bulloch reports on the poor health of his son Douglass and comments on the necessity of a National Department of Health, which is being opposed by groups like the Christian Scientists.
