Hon. Marriner S. Eccles
Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve Bank
Washington, D. C.
Dear Marriner:
I have read with much interest your address before
the National Association of Supervisors of State Banks. It
seems to my inexpert judgment a very sound position. I am parĀ­
ticularly impressed with the courage and diplomacy which you
exhibited in handling such a subject before that audience. It
was well done. I appreciate the privilege of reading it.
Very truly yours,

Dear B i l l :
Your th o u g h tfu l commentary on my speech to
th e S ta te Bank S u p e r v is o rs , which was on my desk upon
my re tu rn from Utah, was p a r t ic u la r ly g r a t i f y i n g because,
as you know, I have g r e a t c o n fid e n c e in you r judgment,
which I do not c o n s id e r in e x p e r t.
Your approach i s always
l o g i c a l and f r e e from s e l f - i n t e r e s t .
You do not have t o
be an e x p e rt t o see th a t our banking s e t-u p has la g g e d
f a r behind th e p ro c e s s io n in a d a p ta tio n t o th e tim e s .

Xsith best regards,
Sincerely yours,

Mr. ft. T . N a rd in ,
