Dear Sir,

After due consideration of the National Military Service Act of 1961,I have come to the conclusion that the act it illegal because it deprives the New Zealand citizen of his basic right, which is freedom of choice.

In light of this, I must ask you to remove my name from the Conscientious Objectors register and advise you that I will take no further part in this social injustice.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter at you earliest convenience.

Yours Faithfully,

M.T. Murphy
