his imperial guests, said:
The presence of your ajesties cause
me very lively satisfaction. / desire
sincerely to thank you for the visit,
which is fresh manifestation of the
traditional bonds uniting us and the
good relations so happily established
between our two neighbor empires. It

basis of your majesty's unalterable
resolutions to keep your people in

finds in me also the gladdest echo. Thus
we will pursue the same path and strive
unitedly, under the blessing of peace,
