The very delicate words you have found to express to the King your
friendly feelings have greatly touched His Majesty.
The Sovereign, Who has much admired the beautiful illumination adorning
the verses composed in His honor, commands me to thank you sincerely
and to say that He will be glad to keep this valuable souvenir.
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your obedient Servant,
J. INGENBLEEK,
_Secretary._
To DR. THOMAS O'HAGAN,
Ottawa.
