Federal Reserve System
Washington, V. 0.
Dear Sir:
In a recent issue of one of our financial magazines
I notice that you have been nominated for a further
term of fourteen years as governor of our Federal
Reserve System.
During the last twenty years, I have operated banks
in various states and I am writing to praise the
operation of the Federal Reserve System under your
direction. In recent years,,various regulations
have greatly increased the efficiency of the Federal Reserve and has made it increasingly more
valuable to the membership.
Under your leadership, I know that the changing conditions which will occur during the next few years
will have the most careful attention*
Sincerely,

Glendon V» Weir
