BYRD’S LAST MESSAGE
THANKS DOMINION FOR HOSPITALITY REPLY TO GOVERNOR-GENERAL Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. The following telegram has been received by the Governor-General from Rear-Admiral Byrd to his Excellency's message on his departure from New Zealand: "Thank you .most heartily for your radio wishing a pleasant voyage to my comrades and myself. I appreciate also your expressions concerning our stay in New Zealand and assure you we enjoyed our visit immensely. "On all sides we have received kindness which has been remarkable in its sincerity. It is a fine and encouraging thing to receive such hospitality when so far from one’s homeland After my visit here I cannot but think that we are far apart in distance only. It seems to me that in all fundamental things the people of New Zealand and the people of my own country are close in kinship. The kindest personal regards to you and to Lady Bledisloe and to your staff, and again many thanks for your hospitality.—Richard Byrd.”
