C, Oct. 12, 1897: Dear Mr. Chief Justice und Brethren—Near the close of the last term, feeling that the duties of my offics had become to> arduous for my strength, I transmitted my resig- nation to the President, to take effect on the first day of December next, and this he bas accepted with kindly expressions of regard as will be seen fro a copy of his letter, which is as follows: “Executive Mansion, Washington, “Oct. 9, 1897. “Hoo. Stephen J Field, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Harlan was born in 1833, aud so may have many years of activity be fore him, but it is hardly likely that he will be still in the harness seven teen years hence. No American, living or dead, has a more remarkable history than Justice Stephea J Field. He was’ the son of Dayid Dudley Field, a Congregational minister cf New) Eoglind. Among his brothers were Cyrus W.

Nor can I overlook that you received your commission from Abraham Lincola, and graciously Spared by a kind Providence have Burvived all. the members cf the court of his appointment. “Upon your retirement both the bench and the country will sustain a great loss, but the high character and great ability of your work will live long and be remembered, not only by your colleagues but by your grateful fellow countrymen. “With persona! esteem and sincere best wishes for your contentment and happiness during the period of rest, which you have so well earned, Tam, dear sir, very truly yours, Wa.
