BALTIM O R E, M AR YLAND

Dear Governor:
All of your addresses which
I have been privileged to read have been
both interesting and instructive, but in the
words of our Southern negroes, they are "good
and better.”
The one you recently delivered
in Chicago before the annual meeting of the
American Farm Bureau Federation on Tuesday,
December 14, 1937, is, in my opinion, your
masterpiece up to this date. It contains
more sound corcmon-sense than anything I have
read in some time.
There have been a number
of favorable comments made by the people I know
in Baltimore.
You may have seen the editorial
which appeared in the BALTIMORE SON December
16th issue, but in the event you have not, I
am enclosing a copy of it.
With best wishes for a Merry
Christmas and kindest regards, I am

December 17, 1937

Governor Marriner S. Eccles,
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
Washington, D. C.
