Letter from W. C. Brown to William Loeb

Letter from W. C. Brown to William Loeb

Railroad executive William C. Brown encloses to William Loeb letters relating to the public’s attitude towards railroad companies, and the need for railroad companies, after a period of public condemnation, to have peace and encouragement. Brown cares deeply about President Roosevelt’s good opinion of him, and wanted to be sure that Roosevelt had the full context of the communications between Brown and the press on this topic. As such, he encloses the complete letter he wrote on the subject, an editorial from the Wall Street Journal, and an exchange between himself and the editor of the Wall Street Journal, Sereno Stransbury Pratt.
