Fe d e r a l o f OFFICE OF R es e r v e A t l a n t a Ba n k : n e r a l Co u n s e l March 15, 1950. Mr. Marriner S. Eccles, c/o Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington 25, D. C. Dear Governor Eccles: Personally, and in behalf of the Atlanta lawyers Club, let me again thank you for giving us so much of your time and such an excellent speech. You made a big hit here, and you certainly gave us a lot to think about. There was no opportunity to discuss vith you the matter of your expenses. In view of the fact that you came here for the purpose of attending our Board meeting, I wondered if your expenses would be paid by the Board of Governors, or whether they would be charged to you as personal expenses. If they were chargeable to you per sonally, please send me the bill. Just after you left my house Mr. A1 Williams joined us, and we wished that you had stayed on because things really picked up. Again with many thanks, and personal regards, I am Cordially yours. March 17, 1950 Dear Mr. Patterson: I appreciate your letter of March 15 thanking me for addressing the Atlanta Lawyers Club and attending the Bank's Board meeting. I am glad to know that my speech made a “big hit" and gave those attending something to think about. I am always anxious to know what the reactions of others are to my views expressed in speeches, and I am glad to know that the one I made to the Atlanta Lawyers Club proved to be interesting and gave them something to think about. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Atlanta and wish to express my appreciation for the excel lent handling of the arragnements. I greatly enjoyed the evening at your home and am sorry it was not pos sible for me to stay later than I did. Regarding the expenses incurred by me the Board paid them and, therefore, it will not be nec essary for your Bank to cover them. with kind personal regards, Sincerely yours, M. o. Iccles. Mr. Harold T. Patterson, General Counsel, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Atlanta, Georgia. VE:dls
