To Messrs. T. James Deane, Geo. W. Hobson, Deane Hobson, W. B. Watwick, Jno. Tyler, Isaac N. Cooke, and others:
Gentlemen:
I have received your communication of the 24th inst., requesting me to
announce myself a candidate for the Judgeship of the Hustings Court.
Although I know you have placed too high an estimate on my
qualifications, I do not feel at liberty to decline the request, coming,
as it does, from so large a number of my fellow citizens. If it should
be the pleasure of the people to elect me, I will endeavor to discharge
faithfully the duties of the office.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
WM. H. LYONS.
