The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 38
"My dear Lord Mayor,
"In the circumstances in which I happened to be placed I could not reply to your 'circular' of yesterday in time for last evening's post. In the chorus of approval which that circular has evoked to-day I heartily concur. That the Mansion House Relief Committee enjoys the confidence, and is entitled to the gratitude of the country, seems a truism to which everyone seems willing to bear testimony, and to which I most cheerfully and sincerely subscribe.
"I remain, my dear Lord Mayor, ever respectfully yours,
"✠Thomas Nulty
