[margin] Letter from Mr. Noel [/margin]

a copy of the Minutes of the Meeting of Senate held on Saturday the 24th inst.

I feel grateful to the Senate for their kind consideration of my case.

As the matter is now settled, I think it due both to myself and to the Senate to express regret for any inconsiderate and unwarrantable expressions I may have made to Professor Bell, and to assure you that such expressions were entirely unpremeditated on my part. This has been a bitter trial to me, and I hope that my future conduct will convince you that I have profited by it.

I remain, Very Rev. Sir, Yours respectfully and obediently, (Signed) J. Rovason Noel, B.A."
