Mr. Marriner S. Eccles, Chairman,
Board of Governors,
Federal, Reserve System,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
The press of March 6, 1947 carried various versions of
your testimony before the House Banking Committee on the subject
of banks for the current year. Some of these reports
seem to be somewhaT garbled, and the^wra^ter is desirous of having
a complete transcript of your testimony on this most important
subject*
Therefore, may we request that we be favored with a
copy of said testimony before the House Banking Committee on
March 5, 1947*
Any and all assistance which you may give us in this
will be very greatly appreciated.
Respectfully yours,

RSB.C

Mr. Robert S. £>urns,
Blyth & Co., Inc.,
14 fo&ll Street,
Wew York
New York.
Dear Mr. ¿urns:
May I suggest, in reply to your letter
of March 8, that you write to the House banking
and Currency Committee to obtain a copy of the
hearing on March 5 which contains what I had to
say about banking earnings. I would be glad to
send you a copy but we do not have any, and I do
not know how soon the Committee prints will be
available• However, we have finished our corrections and returned them to the Committee, so I
would think they might be printed promptly.
The press reports, as you noted, were
certainly very badly garbled.
Sincerely yours,

M. S. Eccles,
Chairman.
