GENTLEMEN:
Owing to the large over-subscription to the Liberty Loan, it has as you know been necessary
to materially scale down a great many of the subscriptions. 'Ibis has, of course, changed our
records and makes necessary a revision of your original instructions to us. In connection with this
will you please note that before any delivery of Interim Certificates can be effected, we must have
from you the following information:
FIRST:

All of the above requested figures must be full and complete and unless they are so furnished
to us we will be unable to proceed with your delivery.
In making up this list we especially ask that you take your requirements in the largest
denominations possible. Interim Certificates can be freely exchanged without cost to you at any
time from large denominations to smaller, or vice versa.
We feel sure that the banks in this District realize it has been physically impossible for us
to give all matters the prompt attention which they deserve, owing to the volume of work in connection with the handling of the Liberty Loan.
Assuring you that we appreciate the courtesy and patience which has been shown us in
this connection, we are
Respectfully,
