President Roosevelt assures James Speyer that Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou, Secretary of State Elihu Root, and Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon reviewed the financial situation with him in detail. Acknowledging that he himself is not an expert in financial affairs, Roosevelt trusts that what Cortelyou has done to avert financial panic is “the only wise thing that could be done.”
