B-1097
SUBJECT: Audit of Reserve Stock of Incomplete
Federal Reserve Notes.

Dear Sir:
For your information there is inclosed a copy of the recapitulation of an audit of the stock of incomplete Federal Reserve
notes held at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing as of close of
business June 29, 1935» forwarded to the Secretary of the Treasury
by Mr, M, R, Loafman, Chief, Division of Public Debt Accounts and
Audit.
In his letter forwarding the report of the audit to the
Secretary of the Treasury* Mr. Loafnan stated that:

"The audit

extended from June 26 to July 1, 1335t inclusive, and consisted
of a piece count of the entire stock of faces and a package count
of the uniform backs allocated to Federal Reserve notes.

In view

of the fact that a recent piece count has been made by this office
of the entire stock of each denomination of uniform backs on band
in the Bureau, a package count and inspection of the uniform backs
allocated to Federal Reserve notes was deemed sufficient at this

time. The total sheets of Federal Reserve notes, faces and backs,
were found to "be in excess of the required reserve of 4,250,000
sheets, as authorized in the letter of the Governor of the Federal
Reserve Board to the Under Secretary of the Treasury dated December
2, 1929."

Very truly yours,

E. L. Smead, Chief,
Division of Bank Operations,
