way in which they one and all discharge their duties. As hereto’ore 
the Derby newspapers have been willing coadjutors with me in every- 
thing that has tended to the benefit of the Institution, and to those 
connected with them I am under many and deep obligations. Finally 
I have to thank you all for your kindly help and consideration, and to 
express the hope that the work here, in which I find the greatest 
possible pleasure, may always be carried on in such a way as to deserve 
your approval and merit a continuance of your confidence. 
I remain, Gentlemen, 
Very faithfully yours, 
WILLIAM CROWTHER, 
Librarian and Curator.
