We look forward to having the pleasure ere long of once more welcoming you back to New South Wales. We cannot allow you to depart without thanking you most heartily for the great kindness and consideration you have invariably shewn us and expressing a regret at the severence of the daily intercourse with yourself which it has been our privilege to enjoy for so many years. Wishing Mrs Knox your family, and yourself, a peaceful and prosperous voyage. We remain yours most obediently.'
