Letter from Samuel L. Morris to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Samuel L. Morris to Theodore Roosevelt

Samuel L. Morris shares his opinion of the Aldrich Central Bank legislation with Theodore Roosevelt, stating the banks are declining new loans and demanding payment of existing loans, building up their reserves. Morris asks why the banks must be given the power to issue money when the government might repeat what was done during the Civil War and increase circulation under proper regulation of the Comptroller and depositories. Morris would like to hear Roosevelt’s view on the subject.

Letter from William Emlen Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William Emlen Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

William Emlen Roosevelt tells President Roosevelt that he and Edith have been on his mind since hearing of Archibald B. Roosevelt’s sickness. He has enclosed a survey of Cove Neck as promised, and despite several errors, the layout is “very interesting” for them to have. He tells Roosevelt of the dire situation on Wall Street and the effect that the panic has had on himself and his colleagues. He discusses his visit from Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. and the dispatch he received from his son George Emlen Roosevelt, who was remorseful not speaking to Roosevelt when he was visiting Harvard.
