ET LE PRINCE DE GALLES

A cette lettre qui fut naturellement pour lui une cause de surprise, le Dr Bardy répliqua :

Québec, Aug. 28th. 1860.

Sir. — In answer to yours dated 25th inst. I hâve the honor to state that at the levée held at Québec on the 21st, I hâve remitted myself the address of the St-Jean-JBaptiste Society to His Royal Highness, and done so in the présence of His Excellency the Governor- General who presented me to the Prince of Wales. Nevertheless I send you a new copy of said address, which I hope will hâve a better fate.

I hâve the honor to be, Sir, &c.

P. M. Bardy, Près. Soc. St-Jean-Baptiste of Québec.

R. T. Pennefalter,

Gov's Secretary, Montréal.

Enfin le Dr Bardy reçut la belle lettre suivante (antidatée) et l'incident fut clos :

Québec, Aug. 21, 1860.

Sir. — I hâve the honor, by désire of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to acknowledge the receipt of the address presented by you on behalf of the Society of St-Jean-Baptiste of Québec. His Royal Highness is fully sensible of the loyalty expressed therein.

I hâve the honor to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Newcastle

To the Président of the Society of St-Jean-Baptiste.
