To see the difficulties of the task without shrinking from them or feeling alarm, and to meet them with courage, is the way to succeed.

I have often seen that the _confidence_ of success has been the _cause of the success itself_, and you will do well to _preserve_ that sentiment.
I have been most happy to learn that the swearing in of the Council passed so well.

The Declaration in the newspapers I find simple and appropriate.

The translation in the papers says, "_J'ai ete eleves en Angleterre._" 1.

I should advise to say as often as possible that you are _born_ in England.
