Dr. Sir:

The Directors yesterday by order, caused salaries of Pres ^t.. Treas^r. & Sec [I?]. to ceased and also requested one to write to you, as follows, "That the [heavier?] of the [sarm?] is over, and no personal attention of the President is necessary to the work: [mat?] nevertheless a [nominal?] President to sign papers &[c?]. [on?] behalf of the company is required, and of his (your) health is such that he (you) cannot farther attend to it, that it is the [seuse?] of the Board, that it is both expedient as desirable that he (you) should resign".

Please let me hear from you, in response to this before the 8^th of Dec. to which [there?] the Broad adjourned.

I am [tuly?]

F. W. Jones
