7th January 1847
My Dear Friend,
I yesterday received your letter of the 5th instant, accompanied by the kindly testimonial of the Committee; I feel truly grateful to God who through so many years, in many countries, and in the midst of dangers and difficulties enabled me so to act as thus to obtain the approval of my services.
To yourself, I beg leave to say, that I thank you very sincerely for your very regular and very friendly correspondence while in far distant lands.
With every good wish for the welfare of yourself, and all the Committee, and core daily reciprocating your affectionate regards, believe me,
My Dear Friend,
Very Truly Yours,
James Thomson.
