Virginia Bankers Association Letter

Virginia Bankers Association Letter

Great Depression

This 1933 notice, from the Virginia Bankers Association, lets bank employees know about the legal holiday declared by Governor Pollard. Notice the wording of this letter, such as the phrases “unusual situation” and “cool thought”; these suggest tensions within the financial institutions. Also pay attention to the addition at the bottom of the letter: “…Congress will be called in extra session to consider the banking situation on Thurs., and that the Pres. May announce emergency measures Mon.”
