in which you felicitate me upon my election to the position of President of our society.

The Royal Geographical Society of Australasia, Qld Branch.
I am deeply sensible of the honour conferred upon me, and should, indeed, have felt greatly disappointed had I not received a word of encouragement from one so highly distinguished and universally respected throughout the whole scientific world as the learned President of the Victorian Branch of the Royal Geographical Society of Australia. I appreciate the felicitation of my exalted Victorian colleague most highly and I shall do every thing in my power to further the interests of your branch of the society as well as of my own. Upon this subject I shall take the liberty of addressing you later on.
