My dear Mr. Eccles:
The American Society of newspaper Editors
would be honored to h&ve you as a speaker at one of
the sessions of its annual convention to be held in
V/ashington April 15, 16 and 17.
Two years ago we had a most interesting
noff the record” talk by I.Ir. D6nald Richberg at our in
formal luncheon, and last year we had a similar "off
the record” talk by Hr. Harry Hopkins.
7e would be most happy to have a similar
frank and informal talk by you at the Friday luncheon
this year.
The date is April 15 and the length and
character of the talk would be entirely of your
choosing.
May I hope to have your acceptance of this
invitation at your convenience?
Very truly yours

My dear Mr. Oreager:
I have your kind invitation of February
liith to be a speaker at one of the sessions of
the annual convention of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors to be held in Washington April
15, 16 and 17.
Barring some now unforeseen circumstance,
I would take great pleasure in having the opportunity
to speak "off the record" to your distinguished giroup
with reference to Federal Reserve problems which are
of particular interest to the press and to the gen
eral public. It would be preferable for me to speak
"off the record", as I understand others who have
appeared before your Society in previous years have
done, because I could then discuss more frankly various
problems here without the necessity of preparing a set
talk and of being as restricted as would be necessary
if what I said were for publication.
Please accept my thanks for your invitation,
which I very much appreciate.
Sincerely yours,
M. S. Eccles,
Chairman.
Mr. Marvin H. Ureager, President,
The American Society of Newspaper Editors,
Milwaukee Journal,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
