Dear Mr. Harris:
Effective today, August 30, 1976, please be advised that I
request to have my name withdrawn from the September 7th
primary in which I am a candidate for the office of County
Commissioner on the Republican ticket.
It is with deep regret that I must take this action but after
a lengthy discussion with my family I find that due to health
reasons within the family it would be best to withdraw at this
time.
I will be most happy to offer my services to you at any time
that I may be of help.
