Mr. Mariner Eccles,
Governor,
Federal Reserve Bank,
Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Eccles:
I hope you did not think I was walking out on
the luncheon yesterday from lack of interest.
Unfortunately, Marvin Mclntyre had made an
appointment with the President for himself and
two or three of the others at 2:30, and, as
you know, that is an appointment you have to
keep.
I thought you made a splendid talk before the
business men of the Council and I think that
each and all of them appreciated it, for they
were all intelligent men who thoroughly understood the import of what you were saying. The
address was "full of meat".
I was the more
deeply impressed because it so exactly reflected
my own views.




Most sincerely yours,

R.
