your Highness and Gentlemen,
Your Highness has given an interesting resume"^ of the
relations between your country and Great Britain for the last
century and a half* It is therefore unnecessary for me to
dilate on this association any further# I should however like
to endorse most heartily vihat Your Highness has expressed so
eloquently of the happy relations which have existed over this
long period# As Your Highness has pointed out, the Treaty
which we are about to sign is no new departure in these
relations, but merely a further step in cementing the ties of
friendship and interests which bind our two countries.
Your Highness has mentioned your visit to England last
year, and the happy recollections you have retained of it# I
was present in London at that time, and I feel that I can
assure Your Highness that all whom you met, both officials and
s
others, preserve the same happy recollection, and that when
Your Highness left England you left many fiiends behind you.
With regard to the kind expressions that Your Highness
has used concerning that part of the negotiations played by
Major Watts and myself, I thank you most sincerely# I cannot
let these words pass without expressing ray gratitude for the
spirit of co-operation and friendliness displayed by Your
Highness which helped so greatly the negotiations which have
reached their happy conslusions today# But it was not in these
negotiations that relations between Your Highness and myself
began# 1 was Consul accredited to the Sultanate when Your
/ Highness
