Henry Lee Higginson thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the recent letter, and finds that they are almost entirely in agreement. Higginson comments on the conduct of Edward Henry Harriman, particularly during the financial panics, finding him to have acted rashly or unscrupulously. Harriman was only one of many who acted this way though, and Higginson feels that while these sorts of dishonest or unscrupulous actions should be stopped, the individual should not necessarily be punished.
