The address delivered by you at the celebration of the Public Schools
of this city was so admirably adapted to the occasion, and calculated
to be of such essential service to the youth of our city and country,
that the committee of arrangements feel that they but reflect the
sentiments and wishes of all who heard it, by requesting that you would
place a copy in their hands, with a view to publication, in order that
it may be preserved in a convenient and durable form for more extended
circulation and usefulness.
We are, sir, with great respect and esteem,
Your friends,
JOHN R. W. DUNBAR,
