Wilmette March 17th 1889
Honorable George E. Adams,
Dear Sir,
I was appointed Post Master at Wilmette, Cook County, Illinois, April 19th 1870. On account of
poor health my wife and myself expects to go to Colorado the coming summer and I wish to
resign and have William H. Kinney appointed Post Master in my place. Mr. Kinney has been my
deputy for the last seventeen years and is well qualified in every way to perform the duties of the
office. Will you please assist me at the post office department in Washington in getting my
resignation excepted [accepted] and William H. Kinney appointed in my place. If this is not the
proper course to take to hand in my resignation will you please inform me,
Yours Truly
A. McDaniel
