Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge writes to President Roosevelt about a speech made by Eben S.

He also lets Roosevelt know that there has been no change in the condition of his sister-in-law; the doctors have already given up on her but she is still “hanging on the edge”.
