But the act of congress, which
very properly requires each member
of the federal reserve board to give
superable obstacle to my acceptance
of the offer. In the course OF a long
life, I have in various instances as
sumed duties and undertaken trusts
which from their personal nature can
not properly be devolved on others.
IF the conclusion have come to is
q disappointment to you 1 greatly re-
gret 1t but you can hardly be sorrfer
than am that I am able to do so lit
tie in aid Of an administration whose
first year Of achievement makes 1t one
of the most notable the country has

men. It was said by persons close to
the president that in all likelihood a

SO that the geographical representation
might be symmetrical. c. s. Hamlin,
now assistant secretary Of the treas
ury, who comes from Boston, had been
mentioned for the place among 9TH
ers but there IL no definite choice as
yet.
