    Lecture Room, Philadelphia Medical Association, November 3d, 1846. Doctor Stille, Dear Sir,—At a meeting of the Students of the Philadel- phia Medical Association held on Monday, November 2nd, A. B. Hawkins, of North Carolina, Chairman, Thomas G. Polk, of Pennsylvania, Secretary, the following Resolution was unanimously adopted:— Resolved, That the members of the Class of the Philadelphia Medical Association have listened with great pleasure, to the very able and elo- quent Valedictory Address, delivered by Doctor Stille, on the evening of the 30th October, and that a committee of four be appointed to request a copy for publication. It is with pleasure that we convey to you the above Resolution of the Class. The importance of your subject induces us to urge a compliance with our request; the impressions made by merely hearing an Address may be soon effaced, we would therefore, have it in a more lasting form, that we, as well as others, may read, and reflect upon it. Accept from the Class we represent, its ever grateful remembrances, and from ourselves, the highest regard and esteem. William Ashley, of Georgia. J. H. T. Marshall, of Maryland. J. R. B. Rutter, of Pennsylvania. R. M. Smith, of Georgia. Committee. 365 Walnut Street, November 3rd, 1846. Gentlemen,—Your letter, enclosing a copy of the Resolution adopted by the Class in reference to my Address, is peculiarly gratifying, inasmuch as it proves that my argument and my object, have been correctly interpreted, and that you and your constituents may be counted upon as co-labourers in the good cause of professional improvement.
