The following is a transcript of a speech made in Hobart, Australia on the 25th Feb. 1894;
"To the Very Reverend Charles Leslie Dundas, Dean of Hobart,
"Sir, We the undersigned members of the Parish Council, on behalf of the congregation of St. David's Cathedral, Hobart, on the eve of your departure for England, desire to express our warm appreciation of your earnest and faithful discharge of the high and holy duties of your sacred office as Dean of Hobart and Incumbent of the Cathedral Parish of the Diocese. We also wish to record our deep and grateful sense of your great liberality and your generous and unselfish efforts to promote and improve the financial position of the Cathedral parish and fully recognise the value of your warm sympathy with all who suffer from sickness or adversity. Rest assured that we deeply sympathise with you in your separation from your dear wife and family and in the anxiety from which you have been suffering for some time past. We sincerely regret the cause of your leaving our shores, even though your absence may be but for a short period and we earnestly hope you will return to Hobart at the expiration of your leave of absence, accompanied by Mrs. Dundas and your children, with renewed health to again take up and continue with brighter prospects the good work which you have for some years been carrying on in our midst. Trusting that you will have a pleasant and prosperous voyage to England and a happy reunion with your wife and family"
At first, it was apparently Charles Leslie Dundas' intention to return to Hobart, however on Sept.27th 1895, the Bishop received a letter from Charles Dundas tendering his resignation from the Deanery as he had accepted the Vicarage of Charminster in Dorset. Charles Dundas remained as Vicar of Charminster for 19 years, being appointed Archdeacon of Dorset in 1902. In 1914 he became Canon Residentiary of Salisbury Cathedral, which position he held until his retirement in 1928. On his retirement, he received the honour and title of Canon Emeritus of Salisbury Cathedral. He spent his remaining years in Weybridge, Surrey, where he died aged 84 in 1932.
Charles Dundas purchased 100 acres of land in Hobart on the 23/7/1886 |
