GEORGE R IC H M O N D W ALKER 120 B O Y LS T O N S TREET B O S TO N . MASS. August 4, 1939 Mr. Marriner S. Eccles Federal Reserve System Washington, D.C* Dear Mr* Eccles: I have just read your recent address delivered at the Harvard Business School. I would like to say that it is the clearest and best analysis of our general economic problem that I have seen anywhere* I only wish there were a chance that business men and legislators would read it and understand it* The country might then be saved from a lot of unnecessary grief* Sincerely A u gust <2 , 19 3 9 * Mr. George Richmond walker, 120 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Dear Mr. i/talker: One of these days I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you, the more so since Newell Garfield spoke «o highly of you. Moreover, I owe you a series of apologies. Early this month you were good enough to write to Mr. Eccles with regard to his address at the Harvard Business School and I told him that I would reply to you because I already owed you a letter. My hopes of getting up to Boston have been repeatedly frustrated but I shall be there some time this fall I trust, possibly in aiding my son to get settled as a Freshman at Harvard and when I do get there I shall take the liberty of getting in touch with you. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you how much Mr. Epcles appreciated your generous comments on that address. Sincerely yours, Elliott Thurston, Special Assistant to the Chairman. ET:h
