FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
WASHINGTON
ADDRESS OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

June 22, 1927

st. 5415
SUBJECT:

Gold Bullion and Foreign Gold Coin
held by Federal Reserve Banks.

Dear Sir:
For some time we have "been compiling figures
relating to the cash holdings of the Federal reserve
"banks for the earlier years in order that certain revisions may be made in the Treasury department's circulation statement from the beginning of the System to
date. In going into this matter we find that we have
no information on file showing the amount of foreign
gold coin and of gold bullion held by your bank (including amount pledged with agent) on the last day of
each month from November 1914 to November 1920. We
assume that your bank held very little, if any, foreign
gold coin or gold bullion during this period, but would
lilpe to have you furnish us with a statement as of the
end of each month during this period, in order that the
revision to be made in the circulation statement may be
as accurate as possible.
Very truly yours,

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

TO ALL F. E. AGENTS EXCEPT HEW YORK*
