Dear Sir:
The Federal Reserve Board wishes to make as com-
plete a collection as possible of the acceptance agreements
or contracts that are now being used by the principal banks
and trust companies and which constitute the basis upon

which the acceptan~es now afloat in the market rest. I am

the~e!ore writing to ask you whether you vdll transmit at

your early convenience copies of such forms or contracts
used by your institution. We should like to have your gen-
eral form of acceptance agreement and also, if you have par-
ticipated. in syndicate agreements for the making of accept-
ances, copies of those also.
May we ask as early a reply to this letter as prac-
ticable.

Yours very'truly,

.secretary.
