Harding denies Williams removal call in Atlanta bank dispute
A letter from Governor W P G Harding to Governor Wellborn, published by The Constitution, emphatically denies John Skelton Williams ever contemplated or suggested disestablishment or removal of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank. Harding says the Augusta speech was misinterpreted and notes his cooperation with Wellborn on bank building projects.
