A D D R E S S OFFICIAL C O R R E S P O N D E N C E
TO T H E B O A R D

January 17, 194-0

Dear Sir:
Some thought has been given to the possibility of publishing
from time to time in the Federal Reserve Bulletin photographs of head
office and branch directors of Federal Reserve banks, with brief biographical sketches. In order that the Board may be in a position to
publish such material at some appropriate time in the future, it will
be appreciated if you will obtain a photograph of each of your present
directors and forward them to this Office, with brief biographical
statements in form suitable for publication. Inasmuch as our files
would not be complete without photographs of the chief executive officers of the Federal Reserve banks, it is requested also that you
forward a recent picture of yourself with a brief biography which
you feel would be suitable for publication.
Our printer advises us that, in order to get the best results, all photographs furnished should be clear pictures on white
paper, which should be carefully packed for mailing so that they will
not be creased or mutilated in any way in transmission. It is suggested that, if possible, the biographical statements be confined to
not exceeding two hundred words.
In order that pictures and biographical statements for possible publication of directors and officers elected or appointed in
the future may be received as a matter of routine, it is requested
that they be forwarded simultaneously with the biographical sketches
(forms 242 and 243) and oaths of office as required by the Board's
circular letters dated January 29, 1936 (X-94-70), and October 28, 1936
(X-9727), respectively.
Very .truly yours,

L. P. Bethea,
Assistant Secretary.
TO THE PRESIDENTS OF ALL FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
