Excerpt from An Address Embracing a Historical Sketch of Norfolk County: Delivered at Berkley, July 4th, 1876, by Request of the Board of Supervisors
Appreciating, as I do, these facts, I am profoundly impressed with a consciousness of my inability to discharge in a satisfactory manner the duty which the generous partiality of the Board of Supervisors has assigned me, in the ceremonies of the day, and I regret, very much regret, that some one better qualified to do justice, alike to the theme and the occasion, was not selected.
