November

Dear John:
Attached is copy of a letter from the
able Mr. Upgren «faich the Chairman thought you
might be interested in seeing confidentially,
if only to explain the meaning of the one word.
Our profane vocabulary is very limited, as you
know.
What we would like to know is what you
thought of the same performance, assuming a Yale
man is willing to say what he really thinks.
Faithfully,

Mr. John H. Peyton, President,
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis,
Minneapolis, Minnesota.

P.S. I don't care to be reminded of last Saturday's football score.

B.T.

Attachment

Washington 25, D. C.
Pear Governor Eccles:
Last Friday John Peyton had a
group of visitors in to hear your fellow
member, Vardaman, expound some of his
p o l i t i c a l and economic views.
Though he makes proper qualifications
of the precise way in which he raises his
criticisms, I couldn't "be frank if I didn't
describe my impressions in just one word:
"Godfandamtastic."
Very cordially yours,
