Office of Public Works, 3rd August, 1849.
MY DEAR SIR, The Officer having arrived who is to relieve you in the duties you have been performing under this Board, it affords me an opportunity of expressing my regret that we are to lose your valuable services. You have now for nearly three years been employed in many situations of difficulty and trust, and many requiring great discrimination and judgment, and your conduct on these occasions invariably met the approval of the Board as well as of the Government, and led to your appointment under the Poor Law Commission. It will always afford me great pleasure in bearing testimony to the ability and zeal with which you have invariably performed the duties intrusted to you, and I can only regret that the arrangements which the Public Service required should have occasioned your retirement from the Board's service.
To Captain Hercules Robinson.
I remain, dear Sir, faithfully yours,
(Signed,)

The Commissioners deem it right to add that they still retain the opinion they always had of the great value of your services while acting in the capacity of Vice-Guardian at Cavan, and that nothing has occurred to modify their impression, that you invariably acted with perfect uprightness and sound judgment, in the discharge of your duties, and that you devoted yourself with unwearied attention and assiduity to the business of the Cavan Union, so long as you remained in charge of it.
