lage Of Lancaster, surprised her in a
back alley pushing a wheelbarrow load
Of wood and coal which she had cap
tured from his wood shed and hoped to
smuggle to n poor family neal by who

The prince was charmed with the
sunny hospitality Of Miss Lane and tho
president and so impressed by it that
he was very enthusiastic in describing
his visit to his mother. She also appre.
ciated it fully and sat right down to
write the following letter to President
Buchanan:
WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 10, 1860.
my COOP FRIEND-Your letter Of
the 9th inst. has afforded mo the great.
est pleasure, containing as it does such
kind expressions with regard to my son,
and assuring me that the character and
object of his visit to you and the United
States has been fully appreciated.
HE cannot sufficiently praise the
great cordiality with which he has beer
everywhere greeted in your country and
the friendly manner with which you
have received him. And while, as q
mother, l am most grateful for the kind.
ness shown him. l feel impelled at the
same time to express how deeply l have
been touched by the many demonstra-
tons of affection personally toward my
self which his presence has called forth.
II fully reciprocate toward your ma
ton the feelings thus made uppermost
and look upon them as forming an i'm
portant link to connect two nations of
kindred origin and character, whose
mutual esteem and friendship must al.
ways have so material an influence upon
their respective development and pres
perity."
This letter is so genuine and so hearty
in its general tone that one is naturally
impelled to forgive the grammatical
construction Of the opening sentence.
