_His Majesty's Remarks to the Hon. W. L. Lee, on his being officially
presented and resuming his Seat in the Privy Council, after his return
from the Embassy to the United States._
I take great pleasure, Judge Lee, in your return to my
islands, and I extend to you on behalf of myself and Chiefs a
hearty welcome. Your valuable services in the United States
have been such as to merit our warmest thanks and approval,
and I trust the success of your mission may strengthen the
friendly relations existing between the United States and my
Kingdom. It is my desire that you should resume the duties of
your department as head of the Judiciary, as soon as
convenient, but that in so doing you should make your labors
secondary to the improvement of your health.
