STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

MASTER IN EQUITY OF GREENVILLE COUNTY

May 20, 1994
The Honorable James H. Hodges
Chairman, Joint Legislative Committee
for Judicial Screening
P.O. Box 142
Columbia, South Carolina 29202

Dear Mr. Chairman:

After much thought and prayer, I am withdrawing from the Supreme Court race. Thanks to many wonderfully committed Legislators, we ran a heck of a campaign. Coming from a virtual unknown in the General Assembly, to being a legitimate contender was an accomplishment I owe to my supporters. I truly appreciate the many friendships made during this process.

I came to see first hand that this election process is difficult for both the candidates and the Legislators. And, through it all, I came to genuinely appreciate the kindness and courtesy shown to me by all in the Legislature.

I trust this body will make the decision it deems best for the State of South Carolina. May the Lord be with you.

Sincerely,
Charles B. Simmons, Jr.
