1888-89.] I45 



I fully reciprocate the desire expressed in your address that my official connection 

 with the Club may long continue, and I can only hope that in future years I may be 

 able to show that I appreciate as I should do the honour you now bestow upon me. 

 The recollections of the many pleasant hours spent in connection with the Club, and 

 the fast and enduring friendships lormed by its agency, must ever remain green in my 

 memory. The tangible expressions of your sentiments with regard to me must tend to 

 deepen these recollections and make more firm these friendships, and on this account 

 the Address and Portrait will ever be looked upon by me as being amongst the most 

 Talued of my possessions. 



I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, yours very truly, 



HUGH ROBINSON.
