You will be glad to know that Mr Salisbury has produced a striking representation of that unforgettable occasion, which we are indeed happy to possess. We would like to assure you once again how greatly we have appreciated this kind thought on your part; and the picture will always be a valued reminder of the loyalty and, affection shown to us by the people of New Zealand at the time of our Coronation.
