long as found it agreeable to do so. At your re-
quest and solicitation declined then to insist ON
your acceptance of my resignation, assuring you.
however, that must resign in the early part of
the ensuing spring. When that period arrived,
and during the months of April and May, you adj
vised me again not to resign, which advice agreed
with my own judgment. The reasons for this
conclusion need not be stated here. Since you
we're called by your fellowcitizens to perform the
duties Of chief magistrate, you have invited me

care and labor required Of me in dscharging its
duties you also understand; and Of these, trust,
the public has some correct appreciation.
