FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON, D. C. 4.550 Connecticut Ave Washington, D.C. Mr. Marriner S, Eccles Governor, Federal Reserve Board Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Eccles: High public officials are too freguently criticized without justification and too seldom praised and recognized for the good that they do. After reading in this morning's paper your reply to Senator Byrd, I am urged to express my appreciation of your courage, ability and sound logic in matters relating to our economic problems. And by so doing, I know that I will be expressing the appreciation of millions of others in all walks of life who will not take the trouble to write you. Your remarks were clear, concise, and to me, very understandable. Without having followed your course of action during recent years, it is questionable in what position our country may be in today. Without following a similar course it is questionable in what position we may find ourselves later* But by following your well thought out plans for the future, I feel certain that everybody, rich and poor alike, will be benefited. In recognition and appreciation of your sound views and decided actions in the development of economic and political stability, please accept my thanks and best wishes. lours very truly, George A. Bremer December 30, 1938 Mr. George A. Bremer 4550 Connecticut avenue Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Bremer: Mr. Eccles has asked me to acknowledge and thank you for your recent letter in which you commend him for his letter to Senator Byrd regarding the latter1 s speech at Boston on December 10, 1938. Yours sincerely, Lawrence Clayton assistant to the Chairman LC/fgr
