Dear Sir

I have recd. the copy of the late anniversary Oration delivered at Plymouth1 kindly sent me: and I thank you for the pleasure its perusal has afforded. You have been very successful in the difficult task of avoiding, in so trodden a path, the footsteps which preceded you. And the value of the publication is not a little enhanced by the notes annexed to it. Be pleased to accept with my thanks the renewed assurances of my great respect & sincere esteem
