Personal qualities

are I fear too often

overlooked in public appointments. I have

not been unobservant

of the

young men &

good example this

have afforded the

Colony.

You

have discharged the duties of your present responsible offices with great zeal

and discretion.

You may confidently refer to me at any

time,

and

testimony

is of value that it is

has at least the

I have given it when it is deserved,

Very faithfully yours

Signed A.E. Kennedy
