Dear Vada:
Including your December deposit to the Reserve Account at Bankers Trust
Company in the amount of $1,500, the balance of cash on hand should be
approximately $6,600.
The price of Government Bonds has firmed somewhat, but the best policy
is probably to get your funds invested about as fast as they become
available. In line with our previous reasoning, it is suggested that
the trustee be authorized to purchase additional 6,000 U.S. Treasury 44%
bonds due May 15, 1974. At this time these will cost approximately 97 to
971 to yield about 4.67 %.
This purchase will leave you with a modest cash balance carrying over.
I sincerely hope all of you at 201 Ector have a fine Christmas.
Kindest regards,
MM :cnm
