Dallas, Texas, August 21, 1943

EXCHANGE OF THREE AND ONE-QUARTER PERCENT
TREASURY BONDS OF 1943-45

To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

For your information, the following is quoted from a press statement
recently released by the Secretary of the Treasury:
“ The Secretary further announced that holders of the 31/4%
Treasury Bonds of 1943-45, which have been called for redemption
on October 15, will be given an opportunity to exchange their called
bonds for other securities shortly after the close of the Third War
Loan Drive. Holders other than commercial banks will be given the
option of exchanging for either the 2% or the 2 ^ % bonds which
are to be sold during the Drive, in authorized denominations. Com­
mercial banks will be permitted to exchange their holdings for the
new 2 % bonds. In all cases exchanges will be made par for par with
interest adjustments as of October 15.”
A formal announcement of the exchange offering will be made at a later
date, and exchange subscriptions should not be entered or bonds submitted
for redemption until such announcement has been issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury.
Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
