His Concluding Remarks.
Naturally these letters together
with hundreds Of others Of like illit-
eracy were suppressed by me and 9th.
ers written In their place.
my Dear Governor, think Of per.
son dying Of chronic exhaustion and
Of being taken few days before her
death by q general weakness and
seemed to succumb,' after having been
kept on medicine for some time or .
person having q periodical fever every
afternoon or ssdder still. having q
deep-seated lnelancholia more sys.
tematized than it has been at any
time since it has been there and then
you can form an adequate idea Of
the unfortunate position in which l
have been placed and the difficulties
with which have had to contend and
from which you have been unwilling to
relieve me. And while you are think
ing about it, think also OF the many
people over this state who have friends
and dear ones who are victims to such
gross ignorance and incompetency, and
this in 3 state which has provided SO
generously for their care. As these
conditions promise to continue, ! feel
that l can no longer be even indirectly
q party to them. These are some OF
my many reasons Tor my resignati on.
