templated resignation, and announce IN

OF course. he added. If there should
be a great disaster I'm his private business

dent event should occur. IL might actuate
him TO resume private life. as matter
of course. but he had not had any idea
of resigning ard his determination 10
remain. despite reports 20 the contrary,
was fixed and unalterable.
