Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt hopes that if Colonel Higginson discovers at the last minute that he can spend the night of January 12 in Washington, that he will do so. He agrees with Higginson about the currency question, and points out that he has “pegged away” in every annual message to Congress on the lines that Higginson suggested. He does not know how to get Congress to act.
