Subject(s): Incorporation, Letters, Noyes, Walter Chadwick, 1865-1926, Standard Oil Company

President Roosevelt received Seth Low’s letter this morning, just after he had already sent him a letter. Low’s last letter expresses Roosevelt’s views exactly. Roosevelt believes that national incorporation is the correct solution, but Judge Walter Chadwick Noyes’s solution is also a good one.
