 Majesty : — 



"The Council of the Royal Agricultural Society of England have received with 

 gratitude and hisrh appreciation the terms of the letter addressed to the Acting-

 Majesty has always taken in the work of the Society, and their respectful thanks 

 for the good wishes for the success of the Norwich Show to be held under his 

 Presidency."
