'* The cause is not worth dying for," said Ingersoll, and consented to sign his resignation. 262 A FORGOTTEN SON OF LIBERTY. The fact that this instrument, or some draft of it, had been pre> pared in advance, is well attested, though one or more historians assert that Ingersoll wrote his resignation. The accounts may be reconciled if we assume, what is so probable, that Ingersoll, being an attorney, re- wrote the draft. Throughout the entire proceedings, he preserved his calmness and self-posse...ssion. The document lacked nothing in the way of deiiniteness. It promised that he would never receive stamped paper, nor officiate in any way as stamp master or distributor of stamps, directly or indirectly ; notified all the inhabitants of the colony not to apply to him for stamps ; announced his resignation of the office committed to him ; and finally declared that he executed these presents of his *' own free will and accord, without any equivocation or mental reservation.** The instrument was dated at Wethersfield, the 19th day of September, 1765.
