AUSTIN LATIMER, CHIEF CLERK UltnUeb Senate COMMITTEE ON POST OFFICE AND CIVIL SERVICE April 18, 1949 Mr. M. C. Eccles Federal Reserve System Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Eccles; As you probably know, .Senator Graham is in the hospital recovering from an attack of pneumonia. While his physician says he is making steady progress, i t w i l l be several days before he is able to return to the o f f i c e . He regrets that he is not in a position to write to you in person aM express his deep appreciation to you for your communication. He was eager to write you promptly, himself, but since his illness prevents this, he has asked me to t e l l you how much i t has meant to him to have your personal thoughts and to receive your generous sentiments at this time. There has been some delay in answering your letter since i t has just been forwarded here from Chapel Hill. Dr. Graham had planned to return there sooner, and write to you himself. He sends his best wishes and warm regards. Sincerely am gratefully irohiJO. Mcconnell Administrative Assistant to Senator Frank P. Graham
