In conclusion, Gentlemen, I can only thank you sincerely 

 for your kindly and considerate courtesy in overlooking my 

 many faults of omission and commission, during my term

 regret, that my abilities and qualifications for the office 

 fall so far short of my desires ; gratitude, for your kind 

 recognition of my humble efforts to further the interests of 

 this Society. 



T. R. BILLUPS.
