Letter from Endicott Peabody to Theodore Roosevelt
Endicott Peabody is sorry about the ongoing dental situation, and explains to President Roosevelt that if he wasn’t worried about the risk of setting a precedent, he would let Archie Roosevelt go to New York for weekly treatment with Dr. Carrabine. Since Archie is in so much pain, Peabody asks again if it wouldn’t make more sense to work with the local dentist, Dr. Wetherbee. If this is not possible, Peabody asks if Carrabine could speak with Wetherbee personally, and at least explain the treatment plan.
