Recognizing the great Importance Of the
enterprise, and foreseeing the many difficult
ties to be encountered, can only bring my
self to undertake the duties of the trust I'M
der your assurances Of the unanimous sup
port Of all parties interested in this great

citizens Of Baltimore with whom YOU in
formed NE you consulted.
In conclusion, can but assure you that
shall devote my humble abilities in every
practicable form to secure and insure the
early completion of the Virginia Valley

tual sympathy and interest.
Cordially approaching and reciprocating
the kindly feelings you express personally
I have, gentlemen, the honor to remain

his voice on earth-no more will he be with us

we will cherish his memory, and endeavor to i'm
itate his virtues. Truly indeed may it be said
of him, that to know him was to love him. He
was kind husband, and an affectionate father {;
social, genial companion; friend to all who
sought his friendship; and, being scrupulously
careful of the reputation and feelings of Others,
he passed through life without an enemy
Therefore,
Resozped, That whilst we would not invade
the sanclity Of private grief we claim the privi-
lege of mingling our tears and sorrows with those
that weep for our departed Brother.
Reso1ued, That in this time of their sad bereave-
ment and irreparable loss. we tender our sincere
coincidence to the family of our deceased Broth

can give substantial consolation, may have them
in His holy care and keeping, to shield, protect
