LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
this occasion of the .Vacancy in the Direction
of your Affairs, created by the resignation of your highly
respected Director, Mr. Bosanquet, I intrude myself on your notice,
for the purpose of intimating, that it is not my intention to solicit
the favour of your immediate Suffrages. I. look, however, with
undiminished hope to the attainment of that distinguished honour,
and I feel it due to the zeal of many valuable friends, as well as in
acknowledgment of the kindness which has hitherto attended my
appeal to the Proprietary, that I should at this time renew my pledge
of perseverance in every exertion to accomplish this favourite object
of my ambition, and reiterate the assurance of my best endea-
vours, in the event of future success, to merit the support of which
I most respectfully and earnestly entreat a continuance.
I acknowledge with much gratitude the confirmed promises of
aid on the part of all my Friends, and confidently trust, that their
now comparative freedom from other engagements, with the con-
tinued favour of vour general Body, will enable me on a future va-
cancy, to proceed to the ballot with the fairest prospect of success.
I beg leave to subscribe myself,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
With great respect, your obliged and faithful Servant,
HENRY SHANK.
