observe that it is expected of me to make
remarks on this occasion, which is interesting
to you and to thousands, both in and outside

press myself only with brevity.
Most sincerely | cons ratulate the citizens
of Brunswick that they are able to celebrate

stances and that they have reason to look up
on the history of their beautiful town with
so much interest and pride.
The impori ant relat on which Brunswick
has long sustained to the State is well under
