A reference from the Mayor of Belfast which says:
“I have much pleasure in certifying that I have known Mr Robert Stronge for many years as foreman and general manager of the extensive business of Mr James McCracken, builder, of this town, and I willingly bear testimony to his excellent conduct, strict attention to business, and kindness and courtesy of manner. It is with much regret I learn that so useful a member of the Building Trade is leaving Belfast, as his place will not easily be filled. Mr Stronge was always strictly temperate, upright and honest in all his dealings. I wish him every success in Auckland, and heartily commend him to every true loyalist.
Signed in the Mayor's Parlour, Town Hall,  Belfast, this eighteenth day of November, 1874.
    W. Alex. Henderson Mayor of Belfast”
