399. APPROBATION, Legislative.—[continued].
For the approbation which
the Legislature of Vermont has been pleased
to express of the principles and measures pursued
in the management of their affairs, I am
sincerely thankful; and should I be so fortunate
as to carry into retirement the equal
approbation and good will of my fellow citizens
generally, it will be the comfort of my
future days, and will close a service of forty
years with the only reward it ever wished. [25]
