Dallas, Texas, September 11, 1961

To All Banks in the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District:
Hurricane weather conditions in the Gulf Coastal areas have disrupted
banking operations in our Houston and San Antonio branch territories and,
based on current reports, this situation may continue for several days. As a
result, there will be some delays in the presentment and payment of cash and
noncash items cleared through the two branches, as well as delays in the
return of unpaid items and the sending of wire advices of nonpayment of
items.
Because weather conditions limited available personnel, immediate
and deferred cash items received by the Houston Branch today were not
processed. Therefore, banks will not receive a cash letter from the Houston
Branch dated September 11. The San Antonio Branch operated normally
and, in the absence of adverse weather conditions, will continue to do so.
Yours very truly.
Watrous H. Irons
President
