Mr. Tom ne
Peoples State bank,
Lawrense, Kansas,

Dear Tom:

Z do cig want you to feel that there is
personal feeling oo” part towards you, ‘then I
ve ntly protest we yp dino the practice of the banks
ef this town or any other town charging a man three
cents per check for ascounts that drop below $50,00
a the dete that the $50,00 miniwum has been
rea ©

Zn other words, I think you ere 1ti0a
in. eharging for all cheeks from the first of ¢ mont,
up to the time that the 50,09 miniwmm was raised, but
4f that $50,00 mininwn has received a boost above’ and ~
is kept there, and then have the cheels the rest of the —
month charged "three cents apiece, I think it is a
penalty and not a service that the bank renders,

If a depositor kept $500 or $1,000 in
the bank, then if the bank wanted to be fair "with
their bookkeeping, they would heve some sort of 2
reckoning for that. ie just isn*t cricket, and per=
sonally I resent any ak actions, —

) iy Scotch tendencies cause mo to tor |
to save those excess charges, and my Irish temperament
causes me to tell you wizt zr think. You know darn well.
that_as fond as I have vee of your grand old Dad and

as much as I have liked you throughout the years, this
would not cause the slightest personal feeling on my

‘part toward « <I would go to bat for you any day in
the week for that matter, all of your help in the
bank, put I would a that principal eon consistently.

I think it is not unfair, but bordering on = = = :
well, let's drop it. | :

With every good wish, I am

Sincerely yours,

A
