To the Staff of the Grand Tnink Bailway of Canada. In severing my active connection with the Grand Trunk Railway,— which takes place on the Ist proximo,— I desire to express to the staff my thanks for, and high appreciation of, the loyal co-operation I have received from them in carrying on the affairs of the Company. 1 am con- fident the same loyal co-operation will be extended to my successor, Mr. Seargeant. Many of the members of the staff have been in the service the whole of the twenty-nine years during which 1 have been connected Aith it; and I am justified in saying that no more zealous and faithful body of men ever served a pul)lic company, than the present staff of this Railway. I shall continue to take an earnest interest in tiu^ welfare of the Railway, and of those engaged in carrying on its operations ; and it will always be a matter of gratilication to me to h(!ar of tiie prosperity and welfare of both. Wishing you all a very happy New Year, I am. Yours very truly, General Manager.
