I now tender to you my resignation as treasurer of this society. 

 I will leave it with its debts paid up and a moderate surplus in 

 my hands, to pass over to my successor. I trust I shall never be 

 unmindful of the many tokens of sympathy and ref2;ard received 

 at your hands, and offer as a poor return therefor the assurance, 

 that in all the subsequent doings of this society I shall feel a 

 great interest, and will cheerfully contribute my share of endea- 

 vor to make it what it should be.
