The Prince of Wales to the Secretary of State

H.M.S. “Renown”, November 23, 1919.
[Received November 24, 9.18 a.m.]

I am greatly touched by the kindness of your farewell telegram on behalf of the Government of the United States. This visit has been for me a delightful experience which I will never forget. I cannot thank the American nation and the American Government enough for the kindness and hospitality which has been shown me in such generous means wherever I have gone. I shall now always think of the people of this country as my friends and I shall look forward keenly to an opportunity of repeating my visit.

Edward P.
