letter to Governor Craig:
September 17th, iqu.
His Excellency, Locke Craig,
Governor of North Carolina, j
Raleigh, N. ,
Dear sir: -
Owing to my continued ill-health I
hereby tender my resignation as Judge
of Superior Court of Tenth Judicial Dis
trict to take effect September 21st, 19U.,
I had hoped that the summer vacation
would enable me to recover my health
and discharge my duties on the bench",
but I am now abvised by my physician
that in order to regain my strength I .
must discontinue my labors as judge. "
Although my work has at no time been
light and often onerous!Syet at all times
it has been pleasant and I have found a
kind and generous reception in the many
counties where 1 have held court. 1 es
pecially regret that I am unable to fill out
the term to whJch I was elected by the
people and that 1 must resign without
holding all the courts of my home dis
trict. Most respectfully,
H. . Foushee
Judge Foushee is a graduate of
Wake Forest college and in addi-,
tipn was a student at the univer
sity. He was appointed judge of
the ninth judicial district,- which
has since become the tenth, Majrl
1, iyz. He was, unanimously
nominated at the Democratic
convention iff Greensboro to suc
ceed himself. In November- of
the same year he was elected to
succeed himself. While on the
bench Judge Foushee held court
in some 20 or 30 counties and
there was always a noticeable ab
sence of friction among the law
yers. He has given satisfaction
as a iuace and wilt he mi?9fri
from the bench. The next few
months of his life will be spent
in an effort to regain his health,
after which he will again enter
the practice .of law in Durham
with his brother. W. L. Foushee.

Foushee faced with great distaste

the bench from the Durham
district two and a half years ago
