the youthful Prince, with the expression of her wish that
he should be appointed a Governor, in a letter written
by Mr. G. W. Anson to Mr. Richard Hotham Pigeon,
the treasurer, from which the following is an extract:—
" I am authorised by the Queen to announce to you that

institution of Christ's Hospital. Her Majesty most
highly appreciates the benefits which Christ's Hospital
confers throughout the country, and is glad of every op.

reply:—" The Governors have received with peculiar
