UNITED STATES TREASURY CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS

DEAR SIRS:
Your quota for Series 5-J Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness is $<

BOOKS OPEN APRIL 10- 1919j BOOKS CLOSE April 17.1919.
This issue is announced in the formal offering sent you on
Saturday and is for a minimum of $300,000,000. Subscriptions open
Thursday, April 10f 1919 and close April 17, 1919, subject to allotment.
CERTIFICATES OF SERIES 5-A ACCEPTED IN PAYMENT
Provision is made whereby Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness of Series 5-A maturing May 6, 1919, will be accepted at par with
an adjustment of accrued interest in payment for any certificates of
Series 5-J now offered which shall be subscribed for and alloted to any
subscriber.
In view of the respite since the last issue of certificates,
we strongly urge those banks that are below their quotas on the offerings since December 5, 1918 to improve their relative standings by
placing a liberal subscription to this issue, and thus fulfill their
obligation to the Government.
The banks that have regularly absorbed
their quotas are urged to continue their splendid co-operation.
We appreciate the generous attitude heretofore displayed by
the banks of this district in meeting the heavy calls of the Government,
which encourages us to believe that this request for a broad distribution
will receive a favorable response.




Very truly yours,

(Signed)
