YOU render the country n great service" Is the

The task devolved on the committee is as nom

Doubtless the inquiry will prove laDorious ana

The committees only instructions are TO find

memory Of many great sacrifices Is still fresh
considerations Of mere personal convenience
will not be deemed sufficient excuse for
avoiding a safe and comparatively ensy service.
