to express to him, in some degree the feeling of
respect, admiration, and confidence, which his

are sensible that this proceeding is unusual but

subscribe this testimonial of their high appreciation
of the unassuming dignity, the unwearied fidelity
to his trust, the entire imparaty, and the uniform
and unceasing kindness, which have distinguished

delightful and easy the labors, and the duties, of
