“Dear Captain Morland,
I wish it had been in my power to do more for the Society in which
you are so much interested, and for which you have worked so effect-
mJ
ively. But when the office of President was pressed upon me not long
ago, you were aware, I believe, through Mr. Fletcher, that I could not
hope to hold it long, or to take an active part in your proceedings.
The time of my departure is drawing near, and I should be glad if the
Society would be good enough to make such arrangements $a}'
