ADDRESS REPLY TO
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

December 20, 1917a
Dear Sir:
In connection with applications for permission to export
coin, bullion or currency, your attention is called to the
notice, copy of which is herewith enclosed, which is being sent
to all applicants for licenses to expert such corn, bullion
or currency.
Your attention is particularly called to this notice in
order that you may cooperate, so far as possible, with the
Board in this matter, taking pains to approve only those appliĀ­
cations in which the definite proof asked for is submitted to
you, and in which such proof is. to your mind, convincing;
showing that the individual or concern submitting it has in
good faith used the funds in the manner indicated in the appliĀ­
cation.

Your ascertainment of the facts in each case should not

be pro-forma, but should in every instance go as far as possible
in order that there may be no release of funds for purposes other
than those named.,

It is the opinion of the Board that v/here

applications are made with the specific statement that they are
to be applied to the payment of duties and taxes there should
be no difficulty in obtaining such evidence yourself.




?

Very truly yours,

Secretary.
