Dear Mr. Eccles:
We are looking forward, with a great deal of
pleasure, to your attendance at our Arizona
Bankers Association Convention on November 9,
10, and 11, 1950.
As has been our custom in the past, we like to
get our close friends and wives together for a
little dinner the evening before the convention
begins. He would all be very pleased if you will
accept our invitation for 6:00 p.m. on November 9,
at the Westward Ho Hotel.
We are planning to put on our very best Arizona
weather for you, so come prepared to relax in the
sun and enjoy yourself. If it is convenient,
let us know if you can plan to attend.
Very truly yo'

Mr. Marriner Eccles
Federal Reserve Board
Washington, D. C.

October 20, 1950.

Mr. Hugh C. Gruwell, President,
First National Bank of Arizona,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Dear Mr. Gruwells
I just received your letter of October 17 relative
to my expected visit to your city in November.
I appreciate your kind invitation to attend the
dinner your bank is having the evening before the Arizona
Bankers Convention begins. I regret that it will not be
possible for me to accept as I plan to drive from Salt Lake
City to Phoenix via Boulder Dam and do not expect to arrive
there until the tenth as I am not on the program of the
Convention until the morning of the eleventh.
I am looking forward to my first trip to Phoenix
and getting acquainted with your part of the country, as well
as seeing some of my banker friends and meeting other bankers
I have not had the pleasure of knowing in the past.
With kind regards,




Sincerely yours,

M. S. Eccles.
