We are looking forward to your visit eagerly and our meet ing will be in every way the most interesting and absorbing event of the winter. May I extend to you the very warm invitation of Mrs. Ogden and myself that you stay with us for as long as you may find it convenient while you are in Boston.

I can promise you a very cordial welcome, most comfortable arrangements, scrupulous adherence to whatever engagements you may make and preferences you may care to give me for your personal comfort. I will also promise to let you alone at home so that you will not be troubled with admirers, guests, or any interference with your personal comfort while you are at the house. Mrs. Ogden joins me most heartily in this invitation. Very sincerely yours, lercial erchants Hon. Marriner S. Eccles, Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D. C. December Q, 1934.
