Johnson, Hon. secretary to the movement, read the following address, which was presented to Mr. Roff by the chairman. "To Isaac Roff, Esq. Melbourne, 24th April, 1890.' Dear Sir, —We, the undersigned, being members of the commercial community and old residents of Melbourne, having been informed of your intention of visiting the old country after your 38 years' residence in this colony, take this opportunity of wishing you a pleasant journey and a safe return. There are few men who have more fully earned the esteem and goodwill of their fellow citizens by a life of consistent integrity than yourself, and we take with pleasure the opportunity now presented of expressing our high appreciation of your many estimable qualities as a business man and a private citizen. We hope that your journey will have the effect, of fully establishing your health, and that we shall soon be able to welcome you back; amongst us." Signed by all the gentlemen present. Mr. Roff, upon rising to respond to the toast of his health, was greeted by loud cheers. After thanking those present for their kind expression of feeling, said he looked forward with pleasure to meeting them all again on his return.15
