I have not pressed the matter, however, as I appreciate how difficult it is for the head of an important governmental department to absent himself from Washington during these ti&es. In addition to the pressure of work, it is most difficult to obtain suitable reservations for transportation. Moreover, the Office of Defense Transportation has asked Government officials to reduce to the minimus*. travel for the purpose of addressing conventions. It is my hope, however, that M r . Bowles may have other engagements in the West which will permit his- to speak before the Utah Bankers Association in Jure. With best wishes, I am, Sincerely yours, 2 (Signed) M. S. Eccles i M . S .
