Eccles, President, First Security Bank of Utah N. A., Ogden, Utah. Dear George: With reference to your letter of December 3<*, I am enclosing the transcript of the Governor’s speech as it was taken down by the convention’s stenographer. I have not been able to secure a copy of the Adams ac ceptance speech. Most of the press comment on the battle of New Orleans was concerned with the Bennett-Adams con test, as you probably know. That was unfortunate for sevei-al reasons, including the fact that it obscured the Governor's speech which was very poorly reported, if at all, by most of the press. One of the few satisfactions of the trip was that I had the chance to see you, and am looking forward to a further opportunity to talk with you when you come this way again. Faithfully, Elliott Thurston, Special Assistant to the Chairman. enclosures ET:b
