LITTLE’ S POINT SWAMPSCOTT, MASS. JOHN H. FAHEY July 11, 194-9 Honorable Marriner S. Eccles Member of the Federal Reserve Board Washington, D. C. Dear Marriner: The New York Times of June 29 had a brief A.P. story referring to a talk you made at a luncheon meeting of the American Veterans Committee concerning further price adjustments. I would be very much interested to read your talk* If you have a spare copy, will you send me one. There was another story in the papers just a few days ago about another statement you gave out relative to Federal Reserve policy. If you have a copy of that, will you send it along? As you know, I have, for so many years, been deeply interested in your out-spoken, courageous statements and would like to keep up to date on anything you say, under present extraordinary conditions. I hoped to be back in Washington long before this and to have a chance to get hold of you, tut I have not been able to make it. Is there any possibility that you will be up New England way before the end of the summer? Could we induce you to come, if only over a weekend or something like that. I certainly miss the all too infrequent opportunities we used to have for talking things over. With all good wishes and ever increasing admiration for the splendid public service you have been rendering so long. Mrs. Fahey and the girls, who happen to be here just now, join me in best wishes to you and yours. Sincerely, John H. Fahey JHF:bh M y 13, 1949* Mr* John H.
