Resolution of the mayor, aldermen and burgesses of the borough of Margate.
We, the mayor, aldermen and burgesses of the borough of Margate, in the county of Kent, learn with deep regret the death of his Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, by the hand of a cowardly assassin, and desire to express our warmest sympathy with the American nation at so lamentable and horrible an event, which has deprived the people of the greatest ornament of their country, and the world of one of the best friends of humanity.
Given under our common seal the second day of May. A, D 1865.
