Dear Doctor
Please do not think me bold, if I frankly ask you: Will you allow me to show, what massage, strictly scientific of course, and certain movements and other applications can do in indigestion, as I see Pres’t Wilson is suffering of—I can give you 500 testimonials about me—Swedish Legation is not here now, as they know all about me—Dr. B.H. Hardin 1311 Conn. Ave. The society-doctor “par préférence—in this city, gives me work—I am a highly educated Swede, was 14 years of daily study to my education—I do not give American rubbing as done by so many, but distinctly scientific application, as taught in Sweden, based upon laws of physiology—Hundreds of distinguished physicians give daily stomach massage etc in Europe—Why should Pres’t Wilson suffer, if I can relieve him? I hope, I am only doing, what I have from both business and moral point, right to do, if I respectfully suggest it—If it is a great burden to attend to the Pres’t, it is also a of importance, that he gets well, if means are to make him comfortable.
Please pardon my liberty.
Most respectfully
Ax. Linderskold
