ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 
125 
our sincere well wishes, and express our hope that, with restored 
health and energy, you, our “ pious founders,” will live long and 
remain intimately in touch with the Society’s work and in sym- 
pathy with its members. 
We are therefore desired by the meeting to tender you 
congratulations on the successful completion of another year 
of the life of the Selborne Society, and to wish Mrs. Musgrave 
and you health and happiness, coupled with that “gentle con- 
tent ” which pervaded the soul of Gilbert White of blessed 
memory. 
We are, dear Mr. Musgrave, 
Yours sincerely, 
(Signed) Dudley W. Buxton, 
Chairman of Council.

Honorary Secretary.

To this letter the following reply has been received : — 
Dear Dr. Dudley Buxton, — Mrs. Musgrave and myself 
are greatly touched by the greeting of the members of the 
Selborne Society, which you and Mr. Webb have been so kind 
as to forward to us. 
On our part two feelings predominate ; one, a deep appre- 
ciation of the kindness which prompted the members at the 
General Meeting to express so warm a sympathy with those 
unworthy persons whom you designate as the pious founders of 
the Selborne Society ; the other, a feeling of much regret that, 
owing to our residence being so far from town, and latterly to 
ill-health, we have been unable to remain as intimately in touch 
with the work of the Selborne Society and the members as we 
have so often desired to be. 
For the hops expressed, that I may be completely restored 
to health, I am most grateful. Begging that you will convey to 
the Society the very sincere thanks of Mrs. Musgrave and 
myself. 
We remain, dear Dr. Buxton, 
In “ gentle content,” 
Yours sincerely. 
Geo. a. Musgrave.
