Gentlemen,

I have received with much gratification your letter of the 23rd instant in which you are good enough to accord your appreciation of the manner in which I have administered the Government of this Colony during the past eight months.

Permit me to say that if I achieved any success it is in large measure due to the loyal and willing co-operation which I have at all times received from you.

I am sensible that I owe this Colony very much. If I have in some small measure diminished the debt I am not unmindful that there remains a large balance against me in the account which it will ever be my earnest endeavour to discharge.

I thank you for the kindly references you have made to Mrs. May and I can assure you that she appreciates them no less than I do.

I have the honour to be,

Gentlemen,

Your most obedient servant,

(S) TH May.

Officer Administering the Government.
