Fe d e r a l Re s e r v e OF S t. L Ba n k o u is Ootober 21, 1939ยป Hon* Marriner S. Eccles, Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D. C* Dear Governor Eccles: Mr* Nardin tells me that you have consented to speak at our oelebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis on Thursday, November 9. He doubtless explained in a general way our arrangements. I hope that you can arrange to get to St. Louis by 2 p.m. on November 9, as we expect to have a reception here at the bank from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. so that the bankers may get to meet you personally. As you doubtless know, we are arranging to have your speech here at St. Louis by wire relay and radio amplification heard simultaneously at dinners held at the three branches. If you will let me know when you expect to arrive I will be glad to meet you, though doubtless this has already been arranged. Yours sincerely, President* P. S.

Fe d e r a l Re s e r v e OF S t. L Ba n k o u is November 1, 1939. Hon. Marriner S. Eccles, Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D. C. Dear Governor Eccles: It was my understanding from a telephone conversation with Mr. Morrill that you wanted me to see that you had accommodations here in St. Louis for your stay during our 25th anniversary celebration. I have made a reservation at the Jefferson Hotel. As I thought perhaps you might reach here by plane, I have taken this available the night of November 8, but whenever you arrive the hotel will take care of you. If you can let me know how you will reach here and at what time, it will be a pleasure to meet you or have you met and taken to the hotel. Yours sinoerely, President.
