ADDRESS REPLY TO
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

February 21, 1917-

Dear Sir:
It appears from recent correspondence with some of
the Federal reserve banks that there is a lack of uniformity
in the protection afforded under certain forms of casualty
insurance carried by the banks.
The officials of some of the banks feel that insur­
ance carried protects them against loss by forgery, while others
advise that they are not so protected.

The Board desires to

look into this matter of insurance,* with the view of bringing
about uniform methods if possible, and I am therefore request­
ing that you forward to this office a memorandum of the forms
and amounts of the insurance carried by your bank.




Thanking you in advance for your courtesy, I am,
Very t r u l y y o u rs,

Governor
