Dear Judge Lewis:

In August of 1976, I went to the South Carolina Medical College and stayed for two months and was discharged during October of 1976. I am still under treatment.

The doctors at the Medical College and my present doctors have agreed that I not return to the practice of law. I have not practiced since June of 1976 and I do not plan to return to practice.

It is requested that I be allowed to surrender my license to practice for health reasons.

Very truly yours,

/s/ J. Ralph Gasque J. Ralph Gasque
