AD D R E SS R E P LY TO

October 22, 1917-

Dear Sir:
You are requested to furnish the Federal Reserve Board
at your earliest convenience with the data asked for on the 'en­
closed form concerning your holdings of gold, gold certificates
and gold order certificates.
Your particular attention is called to subheads under
caption "Gold Certificates" requiring segregation of gold certif­
icates of the larger denominations($50 and over) from certificates
of the smaller denominations ($20 and less). These data are desired
to ascertain in conjunction with the Treasury Department the proper
distribution of gold and gold certificates held by the Treasury and
each of the Subtreasuries for redeeming gold order certificates out­
standing and held by Federal Reserve Banks in the respective local­
ities, also to make sure of the sufficiency of gold reserve held in
vault by the Reserve Banks and Agents to meet eventual demands on
the banks for redemption of Federal Reserve Notes.

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Very truly yours,

Secretary.
