Letter from Charle Mackie

To Mr Robson Esq
Chairman S.S.A.

Dear Sir
I wish to thank the Society for the kind reception they have given my election to the Academy as expressed in your letter of the 20th March.
But I may say that no honour can ever be done to me which could equal that of having been entrusted with the helm of your Society.
I am yours faithfully,
Charles Mackie.
