difficulties of my task, I must cravc your indulgence and say, that
actuated by a deep sense of the importance of the duties committed
to my care, and fully appreciating the necessity for thoroughly
developing the measures prescribed by the Act of Parliament, I will
labour the more to prepare for you a scheme, which shall (as your
Chairman observed to you at the last meeting) make your District

model and example for the guidance of other Boards, who are at the
present time undertaking the same responsibility.
I have the honor to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
HENRY N. PINK.
