The Secretary of State to the Prince of Wales
On the eve of your Royal Highness’ departure from the United States permit me to express on behalf of this Government the satisfaction and pleasure which it has been to entertain as its guest so distinguished a representative of the British Empire, whose brief sojourn in this country has done so much to strengthen the friendship and good will of the two great English-speaking nations. We can [Page 250] only hope that you will carry away with you memories of your visit as agreeable as those which you leave behind.
Please accept the assurances of my personal admiration and esteem and my hope that your homeward voyage may be pleasant and restful.
