had every reason to believe and TO hope

do business sooner than by any other course.
The result is known, and therefore hand
you the resignation of Maj. Harry White,
which has never been out of my possession

Throughout the whole transaction l have
acted in good faith, from the purest motives
and without any view of eelfinterest. The
