CONCLUSION.
|
|
| 72 |
To Miss Wood, matron, and to Mr. Eastman, steward, for their kindly aid and cordial co-operation I owe grateful acknowledgment. Their knowledge and familiarity from long experience with the conduct of affairs and the methods of administration in vogue, combined with a cheerful willingness to perform all duties required, made them of special benefit to the institution while the vacancy in this office existed.
|
|
| 73 |
To you, also, gentlemen, I am specially grateful for repeated assurances of your confidence in commencing this work; for the uniform courtesy with which you have listened to my frequent appeals for counsel and advice; and for the kindness and consideration shown to me personally.

Respectfully submitted
