REIMBURSEMENT OF POSTAGE AND REGISTRY FEES EXPENDED
BY ISSUING AGENTS FOR SHIPMENT OF UNITED STATES
DEFENSE SAVINGS BONDS, SERIES E, TO
PURCHASERS THEREOF

To Qualified Agents for the Issuance of
Defense Savings Bonds, Series E:
The Treasury Department has authorized this bank, as fiscal agent of
the United States, to reimburse all qualified issuing agents of United States
Defense Savings Bonds, Series E, for postage and registry fees expended
by them for delivery of such bonds to purchasers, in cases where over-thecounter delivery is impracticable.
All shipments of United States Defense Savings Bonds, Series El, to
purchasers should be made at the minimum registry fee, declared at
replacement value of $5 for each registered article.
All shipments are subject to the Government Losses in Shipment Act
and, therefore, each issuing agent should use due care in the preparation
of the shipments and keep an inventory of the contents and proof of post
office registration for each shipment.
Appropriate forms for obtaining reimbursement of postage and registry
fees in accordance with the foregoing provisions will be furnished upon
request.

Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
