FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

April 21, 1917.

Dear Sir:
In the report of the last audit of the Gold Settle­
ment Fund it was suggested that the gold certificates of
which the Fund is made up be sealed in packages by the audi­
tors and that the contents of such sealed packages,, unless
seals were broken, need not be counted on the occasions of
future audits.

The arrangement would greatly facilitate the

work of the auditors.
At the last meeting of Governors of Federal reserve
banks in Washington the sealed package plan was approved.
After a consultation with the Chief of the Division of Audit
and Examination the Board is prepared to approve the plan above
set forth, provided the auditors give final and unconditional
certificates as to the presence of the certificates.

If you

approve this plan as recommended, please indicate your approv­
al upon receipt of this letter.




Very truly yours,

Governor.
