Jul;r 8, 1921.

SUBJECT:

Assessment on Account of Redemotion of
Incomplete Federal Reserve Notes and
Federal Reserve Parik notes.

Deer Sir:

In accordance with the procedure outlined in
the Board's letter of June 10, 1921, (X-314o), to all
Federal Reserve Banks, an assessment has been levied
upon tr.e Federal Reserve Bariks in tte usual way
(:Pro-rated on the basis of capital and surplus) to
reimburse the Board for pa.,j'l'Ilen t of $5,33 7. 50 made to the
Treasurer of the United States upon delivery to the
Board of unsealed and unnumbered Federal Reserve notes
and Federal Reserve Pank notes.
In agreeing to redeem in an amount no-t to
exceed in the eggTegate $20,000 incomplete Federal Reserve
notes and Federal Reserve Bank notes wn~ch find their way
into the _Treasurer's cash, the Federal Reser11e Banks do
so with the understanding that they admit of no liability
in connection with the circulation of incomplete notes
and that they expect to be reimbursed ultimately by the
Government ..

In view of the small amount involved, however,
and uncertainty as to the time wren the banks may expect

reimbursement, the Board believes that the Federal Reserve
Banks sr.ould charge the amount of this particular assessment. and any .subse~ent assessments made for this purpose.
to Profit an(l Lose .Account _in accordance with the Board's
General Instructions.(June 20, 1921) covering the Preparation of Reports of Earnings and Expenses of Fedetal Reserve
BaJlks.
