Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Jacob H. Schiff

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Jacob H. Schiff

President Roosevelt sends Jacob H. Schiff his last annual message to Congress, asking him to read a particular passage. In light of this and other statements he has made, he does not understand why Wall Street believes him to be a “wild-eyed revolutionist.” He will do everything he can to help every honest businessman, provided; he only seeks to punish those who are dishonest. In addition, he does not seek to address wrongs of the past, only to prevent injustice and establish equity for the future.
