A letter sent to the chairman of the Central Anti-Revolutionary Electoral Association in the electoral district of Ommen (cf. 1908.24). In this letter Kuyper states that he has handed in his resignation as a member of the Second Chamber. He gives as his reason his increasing hardness of hearing, which has made it impossible for him to hear the parliamentary debates correctly. He concludes the letter by thanking the electoral associations and the voters in the constituency for the trust they had placed in him. He enclosed two medical reports with the letter. The first report had been written by the doctor attending him in Dresden. The second, lengthier report was by the chef de clinique of Dr. Lahmann’s sanatorium Weisser Hirsch, near Dresden. This second report advised him to resign his membership in Parliament on medical grounds, also pointing out the profound deafness that had afflicted his father, the Rev. J.F. Kuijper (1801–1882).

The Anti-Revolutionary Party lost the parliamentary seat in the Ommen constituency to the Christian Historical Union during the special election held as a result of the vacancy.
