This flattering notice of the Committee upon my contribution is 

 an ample award, and I am perfectly satisfied with the view taken 

 by the Committee, as to my position as a Photographer. I cannot 

 be considered an Amateur, while I am Government Photographer. 

 And more than that, the advantages I possess in that position are 

 so greatly in my favor both as to the variety and number of sub- 

 jects I can exhibit compared with the other members of your So- 

 ciety that I do not feel justified in accepting the Medal awarded 

 me. I therefore beg you will make my best acknowledgments for 

 it to the Committee, and replace it at their disposal elsewhere. In 

 doing this, I beg to say, that my not having from the first disclaim- 

 ed the intention of receiving any medal, if I should be so fortunate 

 as to have one awarded me, is a proof of the value I set on a favor- 

 able report of your Committee. 



Your's very sincerely, 



(Signed) L. Tripe.
