Their tone is one of complete salts
faction. They declare the princes

most sanguine expectations have been
exceeded by the occurrences or the
princes trip and says the heartfelt
cordiality displayed by the Americans
was greater than could have been ex-

learned to understand and appreciate
each other, and that the result at
