JULY 22, 1948
The President has sent the following letter to the Honorable
James E. Wells, Jr., accepting his resignation as Cooperative Bank
Commissioner, Farm Credit Administration:
"Dear Mr. Wells:
I regret very much that, because of your personal
plans, you find it necessary to submit your resignation as
Cooperative Bank Commissioner. Inasmuch as I can under-
stand the circumstances leading to this decision, I accept
your resignation as of the close of business July 31, 1948.
I know that you have made truly worthwhile con-
tributions to the field of agricultural credit and to ad-
vancing the cause of farmers' cooperatives. Believing as
I do in this movement, I am sure that these organizations
realize fully the efforts you have made in their behalf.
I want to thank you for the service that you have
rendered, and I wish you great success in your new work.
Very sincerely yours,
(Sgd) HARRY S. TRUMAN"

NARA
"Dear Mr. President:
Because of personal plans which require my leaving
Government service, I find it necessary to tender my
resignation as Cooperative Bank Commissioner in the Farm
Credit Administration to become effective August 1, 1948.
I have enjoyed my many years of service in the
field of agricultural credit, during all of which I have
made sincere efforts to advance the concept of farmers
working through their own cooperativo organizations. I
hope that those efforts have resulted in some worthwhile
contributions toward this objective.
It has indeed been a pleasure to have served under
you during the past year.
Respectfully yours,
(Sgd)
JAMES E. WELLS, JR. 11
