My dear Mr. Secretary:
During visits which I made at the offices of the Bank of England and the Bank of France, some interest was displayed in the character of workmanship, etc., of the new Federal reserve notes, and it occured to me that it might be a courteous thing, if it could be arranged, to send a set of the die proofs to each of these institutions if they could be spared and it was proper to do so.
After receiving many courtesies from the officders and directors of these two institutions, I would like, if possible, to send them these sets with my compliments, and write to ask if they could be furnished, and if there is any reason why it should not be done, I will rely upon your advising me quite frankly.
Governor.
