August 11th, 1950

Mr. Marriner S. Eccles
c/o First Security Bank of Utah
Salt Lake City
Dear Marriner:
Rudolf Zepeda, one of the
our bank, is president of
Association.
He asked me
might be a possibility of
annual meeting which will
November 9,10, and 11, to

vice presidents of
the Arizona Bankers
last night if there
your coming to the
be held in Phoenix
make a talk.

While our bankers' association in this state
is small, it is a rather popular meeting and
we have usually a great many eastern bankers
in attendance and for that reason, are usually
favored with some very excellent talks.
The program for this year will be an excellent
one and if it would be possible for you to
appear on our program November 11th, which is
the last day of the meeting; it would do us a
great honor and add a fine note of distinction
to the whole proceedings.
Incidentally, it
would give me no end of personal pleasure to
have the privilege of seeing you on my own home
ground.

Mr. Walter R. iSimson, President,
Valley National Bank,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Dear Walter:
I appreciate receiving your letter of August 11,
which was addressed to me at Salt Lake ulty and, therefore,
was delayed in being received at my office here until today.
It was thoughtful of you to write to me regarding the invita­
tion your Mr. Zepeda, as President of the Arizona Bankers'
Association, has extended to me to be one of the speakers at
the convention in November.
I wrote Mr. Zepeda on August 8, advising him that
I would be delighted to accept the invitation. No doubt he
has shown you my letter of acceptance.
I will look forward to my first trip to Arizona
and the opportunity of visiting with you and other bankers
on your own home ground.
With kindest personal regards,




Sincerely yours,

M. S. Eccles.
