Respectfully submitted

Posted by Ward on April 22, 2004

In reviewing materials for an upcoming Board meeting, I came across the 'respectfully submitted' above the signiture line on a number of reports.
I've seen this thousands of times without thinking about it or the origin of this particular useage. Does anyone know the origin of this...........?
