session has been one of the pleasantest in the history of Cortland County

your duties with the one and only purpose of promoting the best interests of
your constituents and that you may return to your homes in the confident
assurance of their approval.
The time for your final adjournment is at hand,

meet again socially many a time in the future, with kindly greetings. In

prosperity and happiness, and as you pass on down the swift current of the stream
of time on life's ceaseless journey, may all that makes life attractive,
beautiful and bright, be yours to enjoy.
