Dear Gavin:
Enclosed is a copy of a report which I received from one
of the Federal Reserve Banks representing a composite recollection
of a number of those who attended off-the-record meetings or
luncheons at which Mr. Vardaman spoke. I had an extensive discussion with Secretary Snyder about this matter and he agrees that it
would be desirable to get as complete reports as possible from the
various Federal Reserve districts visited by Mr. Vardaman.
All the Board members, with one exception, would greatly
appreciate it if you could furnish me with a similar account so
far as your reoollection or that of others who heard him goes. We
would like to know whether in his talks or conversations in your
district he took much the same line as reflected in the enclosed
report, and we would like to have any supplemental information you
might be able to provide as to his attitude and activities. Secretary Snyder tells me that he has had reports from friends in many
parts of the country of attacks on him and even on the President*
With best regards,
Sincerely yours,
Mr. H. 6. Leedy, President,
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City,
Kansas City, Missouri.

Dear IJarriner:
Enclosed are letters in longhand written to me
by Oliver P. Cordill, Vice President in charge of our
Oklahoma City Branch, and Lyle L. Hague, one of our Class C
directors, together with typewritten copies which can be
more easily read. Mr. Cordill1s letter was received soon
after I returned here from my recent trip to Washington,
but I held it awaiting receipt of Ifr. Hague's letter, which
reached me only yesterday. In an accompanying note lfr« Hague
explained that the delay in writing me was due to illness.
In line with the suggestion in your letter of
March 20, I shall later furnish you an account of what
occurred at the meetings here at which Mr. Vardeman spoke.
There may be a little delay in doing this, however, due to
the collaboration which I feel should be had. I have asked
Mr. Pipkin, Vice President in charge of our Denver Branch,
to make a similar report of the meetings which Mr. Vardeman
addressed there, and shall forward it to you when it is
received.
Please let me know if there is anything else you
feel that i might do to be helpful in this connection.
