James Speyer thanks President Roosevelt for the invitation to have lunch with him and for speaking so frankly about issues affecting Wall Street. He feels that the action Roosevelt took in the Northern Securities Case was the correct one. In response to a previous question from Roosevelt, Speyer also offers a recommendation for Mr. Keller as someone who understands traffic and is honest and conservative but is not considered one of the “greatest railroad managers in the country.”
