President Roosevelt tells Richard Wilson Knott that he will discuss Knott’s suggestions with Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou. They have had difficulty dispersing money into country banks, since much of it simply makes its way back to New York, as everything is centered there. Roosevelt is happy to hear about the results in Kentucky.
