December
Second,
19 3 3

Dear Marriner:
You were a grand sport last evening, and
I know I express the views of all who attended the
dinner when I say that it was a privilege to listen
to your profound, intelligent thinking on the grave
and endless economic problems of the day.
I was proud in the thought that I might
number myself among your warm friends, and in this
very inadequate way I aim to express my genuine
appreciation for your goodness in coming to our
gathering and honoring those present with your views.
I hope that you got a little rest, despite
the lateness of the hour and before long I definitely
plan to be in Washington and accept your invitation
to buckle down to an exchange of views on the issues
before the country.
Again, many thanks, and with warm personal
regards to you and that fine wside kick” of yours,
Larry Clayton,
Very sincerely

Honorable Marriner S^JSocies
Chairman, Board of Governors
Federal Reserve 5ysten
Washington,

December 7» 1938.

Dear Bill:
Your letter of December 2d expresses an enthusiasm,
which, however much undeserved by my efforts the other
evening, is deeply appreciated. It was a genuine pleasure
to be with you, and ray only misgivings are the ones I al­
ways have after venturing out onto the platform, which,
as you know, I do infrequently. Larry Clayton joins with
me in thanking you again for your delightful hospitality
and the pleasure we had in your company on this occasion
and afterwards.
I shall look forward to seeing you in Washington,
when, as you say, we can buckle down to settling some
of these outstanding matters with a finality always
hoped for if never achieved.
Your warm personal regards are most heartily re­
ciprocated.
Sincerely yours,

M.

Eccles,
Chairman.
