President Roosevelt asks Secretary of the Treasury Shaw to contact Jefferson and Isaac N. Seligman regarding the financial situation. Jefferson Seligman fears a panic and Roosevelt would like Shaw to reassure him. In a postscript, Roosevelt states that Henry Clay Frick is anxious for an extra legislative session but Roosevelt believes this to be unwise. He encloses letters from Ambassador Meyer regarding the financial situation and a request from Representative Martin for Shaw to attend the Mining Congress at Deadwood, South Dakota.
