Dear Sir Circumstances have rendered it ex-
tremely inconveuient for to be in this city much
as my official duties require; and as the gener-
al election in May furnishes suitable opportunity
for the choice Of successor, have concluded to
resign my office.
Ishall be compelled to be absent, more or less
between this time and May, and would have preferr-
ed that my resignation should take effect now. But
occasions may arise in the meantime which would
render a vacancy inconVenient and as my friend
Jas, Lyons, Esq, has very kindly agreedat my
guest, to attend in my absence any matter which
may require my attention, it may be best that
should continue till some time not long before the
election.
], therefore, respectfully tender my resignation as
Attorney General, TO take effect on the 18th day of
May next,
Very resnertf,1Ir
