Gentlemen, — I am desired by the Council of the Lincolnshire Agricultural 
Society to express their thanks for the privileges your Council allowed to the 
Members of this Society by free admission to your Show, also for the placing 
of 20i. subscribers on the same terms of entry for Stock, &c., as your own Members. 
I am also further to thank your Official Staff for their kindness and courtesy 
in every way, when arrangements by which the two Societies were engaged in 
the business of the Show came in contact, more particularly on the part of Sir 
Gilbert Greenall, the Stewards, and the Secretary. 
Also to congratulate you on the complete success of your visit to Lincoln, which, 
however good in comparison with late years, they hope may not remain a record 
for long. 
Yours faithfully. 
To the Council of the (Signed) WM. Frankish, 
Hoyal Agricultural Society of England. Secretary.
