Bank of Ireland,

Belfast, 30^th Augt 1864

My dear M^r Jackson,

As your connexion with

the Bank is to terminate today I cannot

allow you to depart from us without expressing

to you the very high opinion which I

entertain of your conduct and character

as that been from close observation for

nearly five years.

It affords me the

greatest pleasure to say that during

That time I have not (as well as I can

recollect) had a single reason to find

fault with you & the manner in which

you discharged your own duties & your

[readiness] at all times to [forward] the

[business] of the office & assist your fellow

labourers merited my highest approval.

I have no doubt that in your

new field of duty you will continue

as you have begun here & wherever

you may be placed I have no apprehension

that your steadiness & probity

will procure you many friends.

Wishing you every happiness

I remain

Very sincerely yours

[?? Geoghan?]

Tho^s Jackson Esq.
