Dear Mr. Secretary:
Your letter of February 13th is just received and I regret very much to learn that you have been laid up, particularly as I realize the pressure which you must be feeling and the responsibilities that you are carrying just now.
I am answering your letter from bed myself as I caught a little cold a few days ago returning from Arizona, but expect to get up today.
The two letters enclosed cover in very rough outline the particular matters I had in mind in writing you last December. A number of the points referred to bearing on currency reform are partly or entirely covered by amendments to the Federal Reserve Act now before Congress upon recommendation of the Federal Reserve Board.
I will be very glad to elaborate these matters with an argument if you think there is any use that can be made of it.
Sincerely hoping that you will be around and completely recovered at an early date, and with kindest regards, I am,
Very truly yours,
