small degree my appreciation OF you
: couIteo forbearlnce and considerable
towards mo during the whole time W
have been together, | confess that | under
took the duties of my position with gra"
misgivings. | then expressed the hop
that | might receive your aid in their pei

: fulfilled by your uniform kindness ia
which l tender you my most eaInes
, Now as We part, and the PROV of eRc
