always
performing in so business-like and correct a manner the many intricate and
sometimes disagreeable duties of your late position. It is not necessary
forus
to say that you have exercised ability, for that has always been eulogized
by
those above you in your own department, but for the satisfactory manner to
us,
in which you have performed your duty, we cannot let pass without thanking
you. We shall not soon forget the genial smile and accommodating spirit,

that in your retirement to private life happiness and success may always
attend
