Honorable Mayor and City Council

Gentlemen:
Due to the fact that I have accepted a position in Fort
Worth, Texas, and will no longer maintain my residence in Wichita
Falls, I find it necessary for me to tender my resignation as a
member of the City Council of Wichita Falls, to take effect as soon
as accepted by your body.
It has been a pleasure to have served with you gentlemen
since my election in April, 1930, and I wish to express to you my
appreciation for the confidence the citizenship of Wichita Falls
have shown in me by electing me to this responsible position.
If at any time I can be of any service to any of you,
or to Wichita Falls, I will be glad to have you call on me.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) E. H. Eddleman
