We have done our best to publicly recognise the success that has been
achieved in the occupation of Pretoria, and to do honour to Lord
Roberts and his gallant army. You can tell the kind of man Lord
Roberts is by his despatches. You can depend on it that whenever you
read a despatch from Lord Roberts you are reading what is true,
complete and accurate. I hope we shall soon see Lord Roberts, who is
an old and good friend of mine, in Newport again.
