Asylum, contains all the information relating to this Institution required from us by the acts of the Legislature, or that can interest either the State representatives or their constituents. Aside from his professional competency, which is entirely satisfactory to the Trustees, they have found in him such a capacity for financial administration, that the Board are relieved from much anxiety in relation to the use or application of funds, either within their own or his individual control. For this faithful performance of his professional, and conscientious discharge of fiduciary responsibilities, they take pleasure in making this public recognition. As much as we confide in our own chosen instrumentalities for the discharge of duties for which we may be called to account, we should feel that an important duty had remained undone, if we failed in this public manner to recognize the supervision of a beneficent Providence in the past, or to invoke its continuance in our future operations.
