Due June 15, 1927

To all Banks, Trust Companies, Savings Banks, Bankers, Investment Dealers,
Principal Corporations and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The Secretary of the Treasury, under the authority of the act approved September 24, 1917,
as amended, offers for subscription, at par and accrued interest, through the Federal Reserve
Banks, Treasury certificates of indebtedness of Series TJ-1927, dated and bearing interest from
September 15, 1926, payable June 15, 1927, with interest at the rate of three and one-half per cent

Applications will be received at the Federal Reserve Banks.
Bearer certificates will be issued in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, and
$100,000. The certificates will have two interest coupons attached, payable December 15, 1926
and June 15, 1927.
The certificates of said series shall be exempt, both as to principal and interest, from all
taxation now or hereafter imposed by the United States, any State, or any of the possessions of
the United States, or by any local taxing authority, except (a) estate or inheritance taxes, and
(b) graduated additional income taxes, commonly known as surtaxes, and excess-profits and warprofits taxes, now or hereafter imposed by the United States, upon the income or profits of indi
viduals, partnerships, associations, or corporations. The interest on an amount of bonds and
certificates authorized by said act approved September 24, 1917, and amendments thereto, the
principal of which does not exceed in the aggregate $5,000, owned by any individual, partnership, association, or corporation, shall be exempt from the taxes provided for in clause (b) above.
The certificates of this series will be accepted at par, with an adjustment of accrued interest,
during such time and under such rules and regulations as shall be prescribed or approved by
the Secretary of the Treasury, in payment of income and profits taxes payable at the maturity
of the certificates. The certificates of this series will be acceptable to secure deposits of public
moneys, but will not bear the circulation privilege.
The right is reserved to reject any subscription and to allot less than the amount of certificates applied for and to close the subscriptions at any time without notice. The Secretary
of the Treasury also reserves the right to make allotment in full upon applications for smaller
amounts, and to make reduced allotments upon, or to reject, applications for larger amounts,
and to make classified allotments and allotments upon a graduated scale; and his action in these
respects will be final. Allotment notices will be sent out promptly upon allotment, and the
basis of the allotment will be publicly announced.
Payment at par and accrued interest for certificates allotted must be made on or before
September 15, 1926, or on later allotment. After allotment and upon payment Federal Reserve
Banks may issue interim receipts pending delivery of the definitive certificates. Any qualified
depositary will be permitted to make payment by credit for certificates allotted to it for itself
and its customers up to any amount for which it shall be qualified in excess of existing deposits,
when so notified by the Federal Reserve Bank of its district. Treasury notes of Series B-1926,
maturing September 15, 1926, will be accepted at par, in payment for any certificates of the
series now offered which shall be subscribed for and allotted, with an adjustment of the interest
accrued, if any, on the certificates of the series so paid for.
As fiscal agents of the United States, Federal Reserve Banks are authorized and requested
to receive subscriptions and to make allotments on the basis and up to the amounts indicated
by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Federal Reserve Banks of the respective districts.

Very truly yours,
BENJ. STRONG,
