Dear Marriner:
When I was in Pittsburgh last week, Arthur Atwood
of The Colonial Trust Company, showed me a letter he had
written you inviting you to attend the meeting of Group
Eight, Pennsylvania Bankers Association, which will be
held at the William Penn Hotel, Saturday evening, April
21. I had told the Pittsburgh men that you would be in
Cleveland for The City Club meeting and that you might
like to drop off in Pittsburgh for their Group meeting.
If you think you would like to do so, you could go over
in the afternoon by train or plane in ample time for the
dinner proceedings.
We are looking forward to having you with us in
Cleveland on the 20th and 21st. Sid Congdon tells me
that you have accepted his invitation to The National
ity Bank's luncheon and to the baseball game. I have
poken to the~PresIdent of The 50 Club about having you
s our guest in the evening for cocktails at 5*30 and
inner at 6:30 at the Union Club. He is pleased that
ou can be vith us. If it is agreeable to you, I shall
nork with Secretary Lafferty of The Gity Glub to arrange
to have representatives of the press see you at the
Statler at whatever time Saturday morning will best
suit you. I should think that 9:30 might be a convenient
hour.
As soon as you know the time of your arrival in
Cleveland, I shall be glad if you will let me know so
that we can arrange to meet you at the airport or rail­
road station as the case may be.
With cordial greetings, I am,

Hon. M. S. Eccles
Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System

Washington

Sincere!”’ Tr^ii^a
