AND KIRKDALE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
As the period is approaching when it will he necessary for
you to elect some person to serve as a COUNCILMAN
for EVERTON and KIRKDALE WARD, I consider it due
to you, and more particularly to those Gentle:nen who, wholly
unsolic►ted by me, procured my return at the last election, to
snake this early communication of my desire to retire from the
Council.
It is with a deep sense of gratitude I acknowledge the kind
and disinterested services rendered me on that occas►on.
Conscious of my own inability to serve you efficiently in the
Town Council, I am the more desirous of affording you an early
opportunity of selecting a Gentleman more competent to per-
form the duty.

I remain, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
