you to present my respects to Prince Leopold with every 

 assurance of deep regard, affection, and esteem which it may 

 be respectful for me to offer. 



To the Duke of Kent, (although I have not the honor of 

 his acquaintance I am personally known to his Royal High- 

 ness) I will thank you also to present my respects, and 

 my congratulations, as well on his marriage as his appoint- 

 ment of Commander-in-Chief, which we learn by the Public 

 Prints has recently taken place. 



Allow me to add my kindest remembrances to Sir Robert 

 Gardiner, the Baron Dr. Stockmar, and other members of the 

 family or visitors to whom I may have the honor of bring 

 known and who are kind enough to take an interest in my wel- 

 fare ; and to assure you, my dear friend, that I am with 

 sincerity and truth, 



Your obliged and 



very faithfully attached friend, 



(Signed) T. S. RAFFLES.
