My dear Mr Melson,
I can caus... warm commendation 809
Conscientious behaviour bears testimony to the earnest zeal and energy with which you performed your numerous and arduous duties during 1866 while serving the Colony; and I know that your unremitting devotion to duty during the exceptionally arduous seasons of 1865 was universally spoken of in terms of the warmest commendation.
Yours very truly,
M. J. Mackenzie
