Internal Memoranda
George Harrison

I called Miss McCarrick, secretary to George Harrison, today in order to
ask whether she had any material of the early days* Mr* Harrison Kent onto the Board
in 1914 and was there-'until 1920, with two years out for war servieef^that .is, from
1917 to 1919. He and Mr. Joseph Broderick are the only ones of the upper level of
Board people who are left.
Miss McCarrick said that they did have some material of the early days, but
she did not know how much and would find out.

.

She also said that after Paul Warburg died, his son James found in his files
Federal Reserve material -which he sent to Mr. George Harrison, thinking that the latter
night find it interesting.

This material came at a moment when Mr. Harrison was ex-

tremely busy and has never been examined.

To the best of Miss MeCarrick's recollection,

it is tied in a bundle about 18 w thick.
Miss McCarrick will look at this, and it may be necessary for Mr. Harrison
to see it. I told her that we would be extremely interested in it, and I would like
very much to see it. She will telephone.

#* Concerning Mr. Harrison's war service, he was not accepted in the army because of
some physical defect. He went to Europe with .the Red Cross for those two years.

0n the telephone today, Miss McCarrick said that she has not looked at
the Warburg papers because she does not wish to take them from storage until
Miss M a m s or Mr. Harrison is there to see them. She spoke to Mr. Harrison
about papers from his service at the Board; he thinkg he brought nothing with
him when he came to the lew York Bank.
