ing , they will-not find one who has the cause : more at he ^ rt , ¥$ M > ifill serve them with more faithfulness and zeal , or who will jpaore completely identify his feelings and interest with the objects of the Fund . _ « I wish disti nct ly and most respectfully to state , the deep feense T h ^ VerOf the obligations I am under to the Committee and Officers of the Fund , an£ Tto , all the preceding Committees , and all who have acted in ita concerns . ItiaW ever received the most candid , considerate , and kind treatment from them .
Their attention to any plans which I have had occasion to submit to them , has been most friendly and respectfuL The manner in which from time to time they have been pleased to express their approbation of my labours antf proceedings , has been truly affectionate and encouraging ; and the countenance and support they have given me , and the confidence which they have throughout reposed in me , have been liberal and gratifying . In consequence
of my connexion with them , and my being supported and countenanced by them , I have bfeen able to do what I could not otherwise have attempted , and conceive that I owe to those things much of the consideration and respect I have obtained in different parts of the kingdom . The intercourse I have had with them has been most pleasing and edifying , and their advice and
suggestions , from time to time , I have found to be salutary and of great advantage . For all their candour , kindness , attention , support , and countenance , I desire now most explicitly to offer them my sincere and warmest thanks . My fervent prayer to God , on whom all our success depends , is , that they maybe guided by him in all their deliberations , and that he may crown their labours and plans with abundant success . "
