FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK
r Circular No. 1348 T
L February 3, 1934 J

Information from the Secretary of the Treasury Relative to Names and Addresses
of Persons Delivering Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates

To all Banking Institutions in the
Second Federal Reserve District:

In a telegram received from the Secretary of the Treasury on February 1, 1934, we are
informed that the proclamation signed January 31,1934 by the President of the United States
does not alter the instructions as to the amount to be paid or other instructions of the
Secretary of the Treasury of January 17, 1934 as transmitted to you in our Circular No. 1337
relating to gold coin, gold bullion and gold certificates delivered after January 17, 1934, and
as transmitted to member banks in our Circular No. 1341 relative to mutilated coin. The
telegram from the Secretary of the Treasury requests us, however, to "make a record of the
name and address of each person delivering gold coin, gold bullion and gold certificates hereafter and of the amount delivered and also obtain from such person a signed written statement
giving the reasons why such gold coin, gold bullion or gold certificates were not delivered
heretofore."
All gold coin, not obviously mutilated, or below the weight of tolerance allowed by law,
and all gold bullion and gold certificates which you may have on hand upon receipt of this
circular should immediately be forwarded to this bank or its branch at Buffalo, and the
shipment should be accompanied by a statement that the amount of the shipment was the
balance held by your bank for the account of the Treasurer of the United States at the time
this circular was received, and for that reason you could not furnish the signed statements
required. All subsequent shipments, however, must be accompanied by the required statements
described above.




GEORGE L. HARRISON,

Governor.
