LETTER PROM THE COMMITTEE TO CAPTAIN HIT'S
ENCLOSING TRR ADDRESS.

London, 20th Nov., 1858.
Dear Sir,—As soon as it became known that you had re-
signed your office as General Manager of the London and
North Western Railway, meetings of the principal officers
were held, for the purpose of expressing the feeling of
regret with which they viewed that event.

At the first meeting the following resolution was um
mously passed :

" That the officers of the London and North Western
Railway Company desire to express the unfeigned regret
with which they contemplate the approaching termination
of their official connection with their chief officer, Captain
Huish ; and, in order to consider in what manner the feel-
ing of regard so generally felt may be most appropriately
conveyed to him, the officers be requested to form them-
selves into a committee."

This committee having met, decided that an address,
expressive of the estimation in which you have so long
been held, should be prepared, and an opportunity afforded
to all persons in the service of signifying this concurrence,
and attaching their signatures, if they felt disposed to do so.
That address the committee have now the pleasure of
enclosing, and also of adding that it has been spontaneously
signed by more than five thousand persons in the employ of
the London and North-Western Railway Company, rang-
ing from the humblest workmen on the line, up to the
highest officers in the service.

It was suggested that with the address some appropriate
work of art, as an additional memorial of the feeling which
actuates us all, should be presented, and accordingly a sum
of five hundred pounds has been subscribed.

The committee propose to have the address, with the
name of each individual who signed it, engrossed upon
vellum, and placed in a suitable case for presentation ; but
in disposing of the sum of money in their hands, they
would be glad to have from you some indication of the form
in which it will be most agreeable to you to receive it, and
venture to express a hope that they may ask Mrs. Huish
to extend to them the advantage of her good taste and kind
assistance in the selection.—Your faithfully, for the com-
mittee, S. ItEAY, Secretary.
