Copying Book: Secretary's Letters, 1860 (page 248)

248

I had not expected, when commencing
this work, of finding so much to be done,
and of drawing out these remarks to such
length.

I could not well omit anything which
I have noted, nor have given the reasons
for amendment in much shorter terms.

But now that I have gone through the
by-laws, I am not at all surprized at
finding so much which needs a change,
as the necessities of the Corporation have
been constantly growing, and the
By-laws were nine years since launched
forth for trial.

I shall be ready to attend any
meeting of the Committee on revision, if
desired, and should like, at least, to
go over them with you.

Very Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
