. I would like to make a remark or two, I was reelected assessor & collector of taxes for the year 1844 but on account of sickness I have not commenced yet and seeing that the wishes me to go away perhaps it would be as well for another to be appointed.

Moved & Secd. that be elected as City Auctioneer. [p. [1]]
