President Roosevelt thanks George W. Lynch and his associates for the letter. Roosevelt says that he would do everything he could for a “square-dealing, honest corporation,” and believes that in the long run business success rests on fair dealing. He invites Lynch or one of his coworkers to come visit him in Washington, D.C., so that they can discuss matters involving the welfare of railroad-men.
