This information was something Rockefeller valued more than money.
If he knew his rivals' numbers, he wouldn't really be competing with them anymore.
He would basically be managing them, and it would make buying them a whole lot easier.
All members were sworn to secrecy.
You can hear Rockefeller talk himself into this scheme in the letters home to his wife.
"'The project grows on me,' he wrote to her.
He was stuck in New York, and he hated it.
The city was full of sham, flattery, and deceptions,' he wrote, while at home was a haven of rest and freedom."
He missed her badly.
One night, the homesickness followed him into sleep.
I dreamed last night of the girl Celestia Spellman, he wrote, calling her by her maiden name.
They had been married for seven years.
So here was the shape of his days.
By daylight, he sat in a closed room with a handful of drawing up a secret plan to bend the entire oil industry to their will.
And by night,
he lay in a hotel bed and dreamed of his high school sweetheart.
When the talks dragged into January and he was desperate to get home, the other men would not let him leave.
They knew how badly they needed him.
They are nervous and lean on me, he wrote his wife.
I feel like a caged lion and would roar if it would do any good.
