Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyman Abbott

President Roosevelt takes issue with an article by Clifford Howard which appeared in The Outlook.

In a postscript, Roosevelt also encloses information about Dr. Louis Livingston Seaman. He does not believe that Seaman can be a supporter regarding the increase of medical force in the army, because “no one could afford to be responsible for his utterly reckless statements.”
