William Emlen Roosevelt encloses some gossip slips from the Wall Street Journal regarding questions that the Comptroller of the Currency has instructed bank examiners to ask every time they examine a bank. Based on the types of questions, Roosevelt believes that the comptroller was getting “a little rattled” due to criticisms. In particular, Roosevelt brings President Roosevelt’s attention to a case involving the bank examiner Charles A. Hanna at the National Bank of America in New York.
