Abstract	Early in 1933, shortly after the election of President Franklin Roosevelt, the U.S. Senate Banking and Currency Committee began receiving hundreds of letters from concerned Americans. They were closely watching the committee's efforts to find and fix the causes of the Great Depression that had consumed the nation for more than three years. This article features two letters received by the committee that show two perspectives of the public reaction to the committee's efforts to institute extensive reforms in the financial sector. Teaching suggestions by the author and Lee Ann Potter on how to use the documents are presented. (Contains 1 note.) (ERIC).
