Bear Miss Adams:
The Department of Archives and History in Montgomery, Alabama is a division
of the state government of Alabama* No further address is necessary, but I
suggest the following:
Mr* Peter A* Brannon, Director
Department of Archives and History
Montgomery, Alabama*
The volume of the papers is staggering. There must be some thirty file
drawers of material. However, since you will be interested in a limited time
sequence the problem should be simplified.
All of the papers that you will be interested in are organized in some
fashion* The papers were arranged jjk chronologieaX^aetrisn, day by day*
However, there is a group of letter boxes, which have never been rearranged*
These are not difficult to deal with because each box covers a definite peiiod
—usually a year. Within the box the papers are arranged alphabetically*
The group of letter boxes seems to consist of correspondence received in
Birmingham rather than Washington, where the rearranged series were received*
I really do not think that you will find anything that will fcelp you in
the Underwood papers* Mr. Underwood did not begin to keep carbons except of
a few letters (I recall no carbon copies dealing directly with Federal Reserve
legislation} I recall one dealing with banking legislation around 1911) until
1919, past the date in which you are interested*
My doctoral dissertation on Underwood is available at the University of
North Carolina Library* I doubt that this would be helpful, but you may use
this letter as your author's permission if you wish to borrow it. Mr* Underwood
left two surviving sons, one of whom shows some interest in his father's career.
Oscar W. Underwood, Jr., the son I refer to, lives at 1801 Westview Road,
Charlotte sville, Virginia.
Can you suggest for me a scholarly article on the origin of the Federal
Reserve ^rstem that is accurate?
Yours^very truly,
'Evans C. Johnson

Dear Miss Adams:
Representative Oscar W. Underwood was a friend and P^r=^
-qiron* correspondent of J. Laurence Loughlin, the currency
reformer. Mr. Loughlin*s letters to Mr. Underwood may be
found in the Underwood Papers in the Department of Archives
and History in Montgomery. I have been unable to find the
other side of the correspondence in the Ldughlin Papers in
the Library of Congress.
However, in his History of the Federal Reserve System
Mr. Loughlin included several exchanges of letters with
Mr. Underwood and gave Underwood much of the credit for the
passage of the legislation! I presume that you already have
no paucity of people who contend for credit in setting up the
W. P. G. Harding, one-time President of Ahe First National
Bank and later Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, was appointed because of S-e^a-tro-r Underwoodfs
influence. Harding had advised Underwood on financial legislation prior to the Wilson administration. I was unaware that
Harding had a surviving daughter, but I will be interested in
following up that lead.
I do not have my notes at hand at the moment. HovvTever,
I am sure that I hate nothing that you do not already have
as to Under?/ood and the Federal Reserve System. Mainly,
the notes deal with newspaper accounts of Underwoodfs role
in pushing the Glass-Owen bill to passage. As I recall,
Underwood held 04MH44 tiie House in session against his
better judgement and against the protests of members who
wanted to go home to campaign. He later thought that the
holding of Congress in session at the Presida&t's insistance
was a mistake. He felt* I think, that the administration
sacrificed considerable good will in pressuring the Congress
BO much.
p. 2 -- Miss Adams
I doubt that any of this information is of value to you,
but if any of it strikes your fancy, let me know; and I will
pursue it more accurately.
I almost forgot. I wrote the First National Bank two
or three years ago about Harding correspondence. They wrote
that their files do not feo back that far.
If you learn anything about the whereabouts of the Harding
daughter, 1 would be interested.
You^p very truly,
Ivans C. Johns

Dear Mr. Johnsoni
The answer to the question in your letter of
August 6 is that the Board's files do not include any
collection of the papers of Governor W. P. G« Harding,
as such. The files do contain correspondence and other
material arising from Governor Harding1s service as
member and Governor of the Boardi and the Board*s library
has copies of his published;;wprk»\and his addresses. We
do not know inhere the papers-associated with his career
in general might be founds ;£ However, it is possible that
you could obtain help^l.-.ihformation on this subject
from Miss Mildred Ad*ms,; Executive Director, Committee on

^£.vAWe will type the stencils and run off ^ ;

following rates:

Single-spaced - $1.75 per page (estimated total -?'&o
cost - $115.00)
Double-spaced - $1*35 per page (estimated total

cost - $160.00)
These figures are, of course, in addition to
the reporting and transcribing charges already incurred,
namely, 121 pages at $1 # 40 per page.
is I indicated over the telephone, my suggestion is that the Mimeographing be done single-spaced
on the IBM Electromatic (the type used- in my last
letter to you). This letter is being typed on the
Royal typewriter in what is known as medium Roman,
9-pitch type.
The finished mimeographed transcript ||§^d
look like the typewritten one, with the same cc^^i;;
being used, but of course the contents would b e ^ | |
regular mimeograph paper, which is somewhat heaf|pg
than the transcript paper. That is another reaflnjtor
single-spacing: there would be about 85 pages i^^iitd
of 120; hence, less bulk.

Dear Mrs. Singer:
Enclosed is the transcript of the January 29th meeting of the Committee at Princeton Inn.
You will note that a slightly larger size of type
was used in preparing the transcript, which you may
find makes for greater ease of reading. ¥hen you
have completed editing it in preparation for stenciling, I would like to have you tell us whether you
prefer that size type or that which is in this letter.
Further in connection with the mimeographing, I mentioned to Miss Adams that it would be
considerably more economical to use single spacing
since that would reduce the number of pages to almost
half. However, that is a matter of personal preference.
The transcript, I am glad to say, has come
out far better than I had anticipated, but there are
two or three gaps which I hope you will be able to
fill in.
Sincerely yours,

Dr. McCarthy referred your letter relating to the

Some twenty years ago his papers were turned over to
Columbia University by his family. The son, Edward P.

Columbia handled them*

Dear Miss Adams:
Upon the death of my father, Edward B*
Vreeland, in 1936, we sent all of his books and
papers which he had accumulated during his years in
Congress to the Columbia University library* As 1
recall it there was very little correspondence in
connection with the Federal Reserve Act. You will
undoubtedly find these papers on file at the library*
Very truly
