Honorable Marriner S. Eccles
Vice Chairman, Board of Governors
Federal Reserve Board
Washington, D. C.
Dear Governor Eccles:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation of yesterday, this letter
is in confirmation of and to express our pleasure at your acceptance
of the invitation to be the Guest Speaker at the January 25, 1949
Monthly Dinner Meeting of the Washington Control of the Controllers
Institute, at the Carlton Hotel. This will be a Joint Meeting of both
the Baltimore and Washington Controls, and, therefore, a larger than
usual attendance may be expected.
We meet at 6:15 p.m. for cocktails, and start dinner at 7 p.m.
Following dinner, you will address us on Inflation, Interest Hates, or
any related subject which you feel might be of interest to Controllers.
It is entirely agreeable that your remarks be informal and off-the-record^.—
Insofar as time limitations are concerned, we leave that up to you.
Usually the address runs about a half-hour nr so; additional time is
taken up with discussion; often we are able to close our meetings by
9:30p.m.
If you can see your way clear to prepare and furnish us with a paper
consisting of a page or two of the highlights of your address, we shall
be glad to make the release available to the press on the evening of
January 25th. This will still keep your address off-the-record and will
provide appropriate news for the press.
I will communicate with you again shortly after the first of the
year, with the hope that we may be able to get together for luncheon
sometime prior to the Dinner Meeting.
Thanks again for your acceptance of our invitation.




Very sincerely yours

FKL'hiK CiUI HiV/iTJS

Dear Mr. Evans:
Before leaving for Utah for the holidays Mr.
Eccles asked me to confirm his telephone conversation
accepting your very kind invitation to speak at your
monthly meeting at the- Carlton Hotel in the evening of
January k 5. As he would wish to have his remarks en­
tirely informal 'and off the record he would rather not
undertake to prepare any release to the press.
Sincerely youi?sy
