Nicholas Murray Butler informs President Roosevelt that he received William Loeb’s letter regarding scheduling difficulties for the two men to have a “quiet talk.” Butler emphasizes that no one should persuade Roosevelt that there has not been a “very serious contraction in business.” He believes that by January 1 it will have spread across the entire country and worries about going into a presidential election when manufacturing is being curtailed, wages are reduced, and people are losing jobs.
