First sentence: For the fourth time I am summoned to appear before the honorable Legislature of the State of California to give an account of my stewardship; and, embarrassed as I am between the desire of saying something which shall both interest and amuse, and that of crowding as much of instructive matter as possible into the allotted hour, I feel the necessity of asking your attention to what I have to say as a matter of business, even if I should not succeed in investing a somewhat dry subject with the graces of elocutionary display.
