I thank you for your loyal Address.In your good wishes upon the Marriage of My Daughter I gratefully recognise a fresh proof of your attachment to My Throne and Person.I receive with much satisfaction the assurance of your concurrence in My prayer that the present Armistice may result in an honourable and durable peace between the two great Nations now unhappily at war.I earnestly trust that all your efforts for the promotion of the welfare of My People, and the security of My Empire, may be directed to a prosperous issue.
