Dear Senator Glass:
Your letter of February 16 has given me a great deal of pleasure, especially as it removes from my mind any remote lingering doubt as to your attitude towards any matter concerning which our views might have differed in past years.
Of one thing you may be assured; no amount of criticism of the
character which we have recently experienced will shake me in my determination to continue to do what I can to promote a sound development of the business of this bank and of the Federal Reserve System. It is the last piece of work that I expect to do, and the only circumstance which would lead me to abandon it would be my summary dismissal on the one hand, or failure of my health on the other. At the present moment I see no likelihood of either circumstance arising, and I can assure you that these malicious and indecent misrepresentations have not lessened my enthusiasm a particle nor will they do so.
I shall certainly give myself the pleasure of seeing you when I am next in Washington, and meantime believe me with sincere respect,
