Columbia, S. C. 29211
Sir:
I wish to obtain the approval and consent, required by Sec. 1.6 of the bylaws of the South Carolina Bar, for resignation in good standing from the Bar.
Permission to resign is requested since I have not resided or practiced in South Carolina since 1969 and, having recently moved to Pennsylvania, deem it unlikely that I will have opportunity to do so in the future.
If this letter will suffice as a request for approval of my resignation, I would greatly appreciate your submitting it to the Court on my behalf. If a more formal petition or any additional information should be required, please so advise.
Respectively,
s/ Joseph H. Heard
