HIS EXCELLENCY TO THE

COMMUNITY.

As it is quite impossible to reply to the numerous letters and cards he has received, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, through the medium of the public newspapers, desires to express his heartfelt thanks to all those who sent wreaths and crosses. of flowers and ferns to Craigieburn on the day of his dear wife's funeral, (9th October), or have since sent letters or cards of condolence with him and his two hoys in his and their irreparable loss.

To the Public Officers. Foreign Consuls, Military

and Naval Officers, non-commissioned officers and men, clergy of all denominations, and many members of the com- munity, who attended or assisted at Lady Rousson's funeral, the Governor's sorrowful thanks are due.

He is very grateful for, and is much affected by the touching and wide-spread testimony of the appreciation in which his wife was held, and he is sure that this notice will be accepted in lieu of separate letters as an acknowledgement on his part of never-to-be-forgelten kindness and sympathy extended towards him in a time of deep affliction.
