yourself, and in which the goodwill of the Managers takes corporate form, is in 

 perfect harmony with the spirit which it enshrines. 



Of the Managers existent when I joined the Institution, one only remains 

 upon the present Board. The beneficent work of many of them is for ever 

 ended ; but I do not forget the sympathy and support which they extended to 

 me during their lives. And now the long line of kindnesses culminates in 

 words and deeds so considerate and appreciative— so representative of their origin 

 in true gentlemanhood, and warmth of heart, that they have almost succeeded 

 in converting into happiness the sadness of my farewell. 



With heartfelt prayers for the long-continued honour and prosperity of the 

 Institution which I have served so long, and loved so well, 



Believe me, dear Sir Frederick, 



Most faithfully yours, 



John Ttndall.
