STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT
RALEIGH
14 June 1920.
To His Excellency T. W. Bickett,
Governor of North Carolina,
Raleigh.
My dear Governor:
I find that my personal and professional affairs make necessary my retiring from the office of Adjutant General, and I hereby tender my resignation to be effective on the 15th inst.
Your hearty support and cooperation have been invaluable to me in the discharge of the duties of this office, and I wish to tender to you my sincere thanks for the many kindnesses and courtesies shown me since I have occupied this position. I shall always have a lively interest in the State's Military forces, and to this end you may be assured of any assistance which I may be able to render in the future.
I count it a distinct privilege to have been associated with you as a member of your official family and I confess regret that the conditions are such as to make necessary the severance of these relations.
Assuring you of my highest esteem and every good wish, I am,
Sincerely yours,
BSR/D
