I have received with no ordinary feelings of gratification your Address, so numerously and respectably signed, conveying to me the expression of your esteem, and the assurance of your best wishes for myself and my family.
The last three years have, as you observe, been marked by the rapid advancement of the Colony in wealth, population, and prosperity. I trust these circumstances may be held to indicate that here are to be found that security for life and property, and that equal justice between individuals, which constitute the first needs of Society, and the primary ends of Government.
You have been pleased to allude in terms of approval to my public conduct. It has indeed been my earnest and constant desire to promote, what I conceived to be, the real interests of the Colony, and it is very gratifying to me to find that the result is the approbation of those for whose good opinion I entertain a sincere respect and esteem.
I beg to assure you, on behalf of Lady Robinson and myself, that we shall carry with us, on our departure from the Island, a very grateful recollection of the consideration which we have received from this Community, and, although absent, we shall ever feel the deepest interest in its welfare and prosperity.
we may year, Trusting that, on our return here next of every blessing, we now for a short time bid farewell.
