President Roosevelt tells Alexander Lambert that whether or not he is responsible for the current financial panic, he will be held responsible for it. Roosevelt is not sure if he can do anything to allay the panic, but he will not abandon his anti-trust policies. He believes that imprisoning just a few men, such as Charlie Morse, Augustus Heinze, and Charles T. Barney (who died of self-inflicted wounds on 14 November 1907) would accomplish more than anything else. Roosevelt thanks Lambert for forwarding the bear skins to the taxidermist John Murgatroyd, and is anxious to be done with the bear hunting article he is working on.
