APPENDIX
149

I shall always feel a pride in having been associated with one who has risen from comparative obscurity, reached the highest pinnacle of greatness in the councils of his adopted country, and won for himself the most coveted honour England's Queen can bestow.

With kind regards,
I remain,
Yours sincerely,

JOHN G. HORNBLOWER.
