Click on image to zoom in
George Bignell appreciates Theodore Roosevelt’s response to his earlier letter. He has an idea about the government management of banks that he would like to present to him, potentially to be published in The Outlook if Roosevelt thinks it is worthy. The proposition is that the government should take charge of the banks the same way it does in issuing currency. Bignell can explain this more in detail, but does not want any article about the proposition published under his name.
