FEDERAL. RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS F IS 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, May 20, 1941 To Qualified Agents for the Issuance of Defense Savings Bonds, Series E : In our circular letter of April 25, 1941, transmitting instructions re ceived from the Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the issuance of Defense Savings Bonds, Series E, it was pointed out that great care should be exercised in inscribing such bonds and that erasures and alterations should not be made. When an error is inadvertently made in inscribing a bond and is dis covered before actual delivery to the purchaser and before remittance there for is made to this bank, the bond should be stamped or marked “spoiled” and a new bond should be inscribed for delivery to the purchaser. When an error is discovered after delivery has been made and after the remittance therefor has been forwarded to this bank, the bond incorrectly inscribed should be obtained from the purchaser and mailed to us for reissue and return to your bank. When the bond is mailed to us, it should be accom panied by a letter clearly setting forth the correction to be made. A bond sent to us for reissue should not be reported on Form F. A. 82, nor taken back into the consignment account, but should be handled in each instance as a separate item. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Yours very truly, R. R.
