And now, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I have only to report
that expression of my personal thanks to you for unvarying confidence
and kindness to me, which, though I make it every year, is
made, I assise you, from the impulse of a grateful heart. I know
of no course of conduct which could have encouraged me more in my
duties than that which you have uniformly held. To the Sanitary
Committee, especially, I owe a debt of thankfulness which will
remain amongst the pleasantest memories in my mind.
