"RIcHaoSD. March q, 1873.
TO The Members Of The Honorable Com.
mon Council Of he CITY Of Richmond:
Gcntlemcn,- Il have found, much to my
regret, that the views of n majority of the
members and my own on the management
of the finances and affairs of the city have
been and are widely at variance. The opinion
and judgment of each individual member
are entitled to as much respect and influence
as mine. 1t would therefore be u2reasona-
bic to expect. nor would | desire, them to
surrender their views. During my connec-
| ton with the body | have cheerfulIy given
| my time and best efforts to the advancement
of what ] believed 10 be the best interests Of
the city at large. No personal motive, friend.
ship, or local interest, has ever influenced
my course; and you will doubtless
bear evidence to my unceasing but partially
successful Efforts to stay the hand Of the
Council in making appropriations when the
money was not in the Treasury to meet them.
| now feel that | Gun no longer he of service
TO my constituents. 1t is therefore my duty
to. and hereby, resign my place as member
some person who has more time at his dis
posal and whose tastes incline TO public
position more than mine. | tender to tue
members collectively and individually my
thanks for the courleseS received at their
! hands. and. through the Council, to 1862 out
| OF the 1916 voters of all parties in Madison
| Ward for the confidence repOSed in me, as
| evidenced by their suarages at the polls in
| May last.
