Being recently elected a member of the Legislature of Connecticut, and feeling unwilling to disappoint the wishes and expectations of my constituents, I have to solicit a discharge from the office of Supervisor of the Revenue. The business of this office is so far advanced toward a conclusion, that I apprehend the public can experience no essential inconvenience from my discharge at the present time. It will be important that I should know your pleasure on this subject by the 11th. of October.

I embrace this opportunity to express my gratitude for the honor you have done me, and to assure you of my highest

esteem & respect
