lection of the president pro tenn. and when
one of those then in office reelected
could be chosen for the place, you did ne
a great n to place me in that
office. I felt that had your range of
choice been as great as it now is, another
senator would have been your choice, as
he would mine. The difficulties then exist
ing are o removed and 1 gladly hasten to
return to your hands, -unembarassed, the
position of trust the senator's imposed up
on me and 1 invite you to proceed to elect
another president pro TEN. With grateful
thanks for the unsought proof of the con-
fdence shown in me, 1 herewith wish to be
relieved. Faithfully yours.
