I should not have yielded.

I believed at the time that I was making a grave mistake.
But as presented, it was duty on one side, and party obligation on the other.

Between the two I hesitated, but finally yielded to what was believed to be party obligation.

If a mistake was made, it was one of the head and not of the heart.

That my heart was right and my intentions good, no one who knows me will question.
