FEDERAL RESERVE BANK O F h en ry K A N S A S o. k o p p a n g CITY April 16, 1949 F IR S T V IC E P R E S ID E N T Mr. M. S. Eccles, Governor Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Washington, D. G. Dear Governor Eccles: On the basis of the interview you very kindly gave to a reporter for the Kansas City Star when you were here a couple of weeks ago, the cartoonist for the Star, Mr. S. J. Ray, later drew what seemed to us an excellent cartoon which told without words the substance of what you had given in your interview. Because the cartoon was so good, I asked the Star if I might have the original with the thought that you might like to receive it, and it is with pleasure that I hand it to you herewith along with a copy of the paper in which it appeared. The drawing is good in every respect except that I think the cartoonist might have done a little better in creating the driver to more closely resemble you. People around here are still talking about the excel lent address you made following the dinner that evening at the Kansas City Club and they all feel you are doing a tre mendous public service in pointing out the dangers in the international situation to groups of this kind. You have a lot of friends and admirers in Kansas City which certainly was proved by the manner in which those invited turned out to hear you. With the very best wishes and an expression of the hope that you will come back again soon. May 12, 1949- Mr. Henry 0. Koppang, First Vice President, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Kansas City 18, Missouri. Dear Mr. Koppang: As I have not been back very long from my trip to the V«est I am behind in my correspondence and I apologize for not having thanked you sooner for your letter of April 16 and the excellent cartoon from the Star. On my behalf, I hope that when you have an opportunity to do so you will convey my thanks to Mr. Kay as well. It is always encouraging to know, at least from one's friends, that a given talk was well received. I appreciate your very kind comment. V.ith every good wish, I am Sincerely yours, M. S. Eccles.
