standing which distinguishes our cotaraon aims in all matters; and
I earnestly pray for it to continue through eternity.
Your Excellency 2 As in the eyes of friends presents have
always been a means of strengthening the bonds of friendship and
esteem, I venture to present to Your Excellency my photograph,
which will| I hope, serve as a remembrance of me, wherever you

hearts are united is one of the holy customs, and its excellence
is disputed by none* That is why such exchanges have always
been the mark of friendship and a sign of harmony, and have,
.
for all times, been the sign of mutual love between friends.
Tills moves me to add to that |£ift another - a Sword, which Is t«hft

my present, and also to protect it* Thus I present, to Your
