F I S C A L A G E N T O F T H E U N IT E D S T A T E S

Dallas, Texas, September 17, 1942

To All Banking Institutions in the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

There is enclosed a copy of a brief summary containing essential
information in regard to the new issues of Treasury Tax Savings Notes,
referred to in our circular of September 12, 1942.
There are also enclosed several forms to be used in connection with
applications for Treasury Tax Savings Notes.
The Secretary of the Treasury is desirous of effecting a wide distribu­
tion of this summary and has suggested that we ascertain from banks if
they would be willing to send copies of it to all depositors and customers
with their September 30 statements.
A self-addressed post card is enclosed, on which may be indicated the
number of copies of the summary required should your bank be willing
to make such distribution. The prompt return of this card is important,
in order that the number desired may be forwarded to your bank before
the end of this month.
Your continued cooperation in connection with the sale of Tax Savings
Notes will be appreciated.

Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President

TA X SAVINGS NOTES
