I earnestly trust that a well-earned rest will speedily restore you to complete health, and that you have many years of public service still in store for you.
I should like also to say how much we shall miss Mrs.Page.She has won a real place in all our hearts.

Through her unfailing tact, her genuine kindliness, and her unvarying readiness to respond to any call upon her time and energy, she has greatly contributed to the success of your ambassadorship.
Ever sincerely, D.LLOYD GEORGE.

DEAR MR.

PAGE: I have been out of touch with current events for a few days, but yesterday I read the two articles in the _Times_ on your retirement.

I am very grieved to think that you are going.

There was not a word of eulogy in the _Times_ articles that was not under rather than over-stated, and reflecting thus I thought how rare it is in public life to have an occasion that justifies the best that can be said.
