Eccles Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Washington 25, D. C. Dear Marriner: It was nice talking with you the other day, and I do appreciate your sending me a copy of the address which you gave before the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. I have read it, and thoroughly agree with you in every detail. It certainly is pro vocative, and the boys must have left the meeting with plenty to think about. I hope there will be a chance to see you soon, so that we can talk more about some of the matters and questions you raised in the speech. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in agreeing to talk at one of the luncheons of the American Veterans Committee here in Washington, and will plan to contact your secretary later this month to set up a date sometime in the latter part of June. We have a very good schedule set for May, which included a meeting this week with Assistant Secretary of Interior Davidson, and will include for the rest of the month former congressman Charles LaFollette, who has just returned from Germany, Assistant Secretary of State Willard Thorp, and Dr. Condon of the Bureau of Standards. I am sure that the fellows would be very grateful for your discussion of the economic picture in a rather fundamental way, dealing with the subject somewhat along the lines of the California speech. thanks again. Looking forward to seeing you again very soon, and Best wishes, Robert R. Nathan
