Our former companions had the honour of presenting to you an address expressive of their feelings, we feel still greater pride & honour in performing the same pleasing duty. The very favour able and choosing accounts received from them lay us under stronger obligations to remember what we owe to you; they banish all doubts &fear from our minds; they cheer us with the hope that our future prospects are brightening before us; that comfort and happiness will be the reward of virtue, honesty and fidelity in the discharge of the various duties we may be called upon to perform in all the relations of life. We humbly hope, with the help of divine providence, that on a future day we shall have earned for ourselves the same high character bestowed on those who left this house. It shall be our highest ambition always to act in such a way as to gain respect in a foreign land for the model county of Ireland. While we act thus, we presume to say that we will be giving you the highest pleasure and gratification. We further say that we shall to the latest moment of our lives treasure up the memory of your kindness, and your anxiety for our welfare; and that our ardent prayers shall be daily & hourly offered for your temporal and eternal happiness. We have the honour to be, gentleman, your very humble, servants, signed in the name of all, Mary Lennard (?)
