"I tender this resignation for the
reason that I have been engaged in
the mail order business at La

have not been cognizant of any

"That it is not my desire to cause
any embarrassment to the Depart
ment of Justice of the United States

that reason I feel that in order to
relieve the Department of Justice
of any embarrassment because of
the official position which I hold
I, therefore, tender my resignation
