No,u shud not do so! It will harm yur residency application rather than help it coz the letter writer has clearly mentioned about yur interest in Neurology rather than in Pediatrics.

I wud still advise not to use such an LOR for Neuro.Always use those LORs which hav been specifically written for that particular specialty.
However, if u hav no other option then u can use this LOR.
