✨ Farewell address to Superintendent



6

you arrived in Nelson, the land in cultivation amounted to 2,800 acres, it is now 7,200. The number of horned stock was 1,500, it is now 7,500. The number of sheep in the Settlement was 10,000, according to the census of last year it is 114,000. Before the same period we were almost without roads: under your zealous and vigilant direction they have been made, repaired, and brought into such excellent condition, that it may fairly be doubted whether any Colony of the same age and numbers can boast of equal facilities of internal communication.

In the general comfort of all classes there has been a corresponding progress. Industry has invariably been attended with success; and the number of farms owned now by men who only a few years since were labourers for wages, the amount of stock possessed by them, and the comforts with which they are surrounded, are unmistakable evidence of a society which has advanced to a high degree of ease and contentment, and is still advancing.

We should be wanting to ourselves, we should be unjust to you, if, while proclaiming the prosperous state of the Settlement, we were to allow you to retire without making a public acknowledgement of the value of the services you have rendered us: and we beg therefore to assure you that the constant and solicitous interest with which you have always sought to promote our prosperity, the judgment with which you have applied the resources at your command towards works of public utility, and the just and impartial manner in which you have extended your assistance to every district, the high moral example which you have shewn to the community, the uniform kindness of your conduct and manner, your liberality and unostentatious hospitality, have secured for you the lasting approbation and regard of the inhabitants of this Settlement with hardly an exception.

We now bid you farewell as Superintendent. We beg you to believe that in the new sphere of public service upon which you are employed, you carry with you our esteem and kind recollections, and with every wish for your future health and happiness, and that of your family, we subscribe ourselves,

Your faithful and obedient Servants,
