Dear Mr. Minthorne: This is to thank you for your very kind letter of September 29 commenting on my recenttalk before the State Bank Supervisors. Since then, I have had some re prints made and it occurred to me that you might possibly care to see the full text, as, of course, the newspaper accounts were necessarily very brief extracts. I greatly appreciate your comments and encourage ment. Sincerely yours, M. S. Eccles, Chairman. Enclosure Mr. Leonard L. Minthorne, President, The Leonard L.
