 at the last meeting that Mr. Beaufort had withdrawn from the Society

 Deab Sir, 6th May, 1864. 



" Having gone out of the Council of the Asiatic on rotation in 

 virtue of a principle introduced for the benefit of the Society, I do not 

 consider myself eligible for re-election at so early a period. I regret 

 therefore that it is not in my power to respond to the honor which 

 the Council has been so good as to confer on me, and I must beg of 

 them to excuse me." 



Your's faithfully, 

 (Sd.) H. L. Thuillier.
