Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Wayne MacVeagh
President Roosevelt tells Wayne MacVeagh that the more he has thought about federal control of life insurance, the more he thinks it is an unwise idea to change his opinion on it. However, he is not sure that he will be able to get it and believes it best to not pay attention to either position. He also tells MacVeagh that Andrew Carnegie has offered to give “the last $50,000” if Roosevelt returns all the contributions that were “supposed to be tainted money.”
