| I L Rice, Esq., |
| Presdt Electric Boat Co. |
| Dear Mr Rice: - |
| As my contract with the company |
|
expires on the 31st inst., and as it's proper
that I should then withdraw from my
directorship I beg to offer my resignation |
| The success of your company can |
|
never be as great as what I ardently
desired for it. |
| Yours, very sincerely, |
| John P. Holland |
