As previously announced, subscriptions for savings bonds and savings notes proc essed by the Federal Reserve banks or the Treasury up to the close of business December 31 will be credited to the drive.” Subscriptions addressed to this bank or one of its branches at El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio, and placed in the mail before twelve o’clock midnight Saturday, December 16, will be considered as timely subscriptions. Reports and remittances covering sales of Series E savings bonds and all applications for Series F and Series G savings bonds and Series C savings notes received and processed through this bank or one of its branches on or before December 31 will be included in the final figures for the drive. In order that the W ar Finance Committees may keep currently informed of sales figures during the remainder of December, issuing agents are urged to forward reports, stubs, and remittances covering Series E bond sales as frequently as possible during the remainder of this month. The cooperation of issuing agents will greatly facilitate our tabulations and reports to the W ar Finance Committees. Yours very truly, R . R .
