much pleasure in accepting your letter of the 16 th instant, 
received this day, as a satisfactory reply to our letter of the

charter and bye-laws, to enable the resolutions of the Scotch 
Board of May 10th, 1861, to be passed into bye-laws, should 
the Council see fit to do so. 
I shall lay this correspondence before the first meeting of 
the Scotch Board of Examiners, and any communication 
which that Board may have to make to the Council of the 
Royal College will be duly forwarded by me or by my suc¬ 
cessor, as it is not mv intention to continue to act as Secre- 
tary to the Board. I a m, sir, 
Your obedient servant,
