On his resignation as chief clerk
Description
In light of recent rumors that McHenry had pressured Stagg into resigning as chief clerk in order to promote his brother-in-law to the position, McHenry had asked Stagg to formally renounce any truth behind the rumor. Stagg responds by stating unequivocally that McHenry did not cause his resignation, blaming his state of health instead.
