This is only another of the many tokens of the good feeling between ourselves and the community, who have so often come to our relief in cases of distress, or whenever they have been able to promote the welfare of the troops in general.
I trust Your Excellency will communicate this letter to those concerned, and assure them how cordially we reciprocate their kindly feelings.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Excellency's obedient Servant,
