Dear Sir
I am desired by his Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester to thank you very much for your letter of 9 July & for the leaflet you enclosed.
His Royal Higness was most interested to read of your droving trip, taken over fifty-six years ago, with all its attendant difficulties, & amusing incidents.
I have read it myself, & certainly agree with you that the boys did not make too bad a job of it.
His Royal Highness desires me to thank you very much for your kind words which he much appreciates.
Yours faithfully
Richard Hawkins
Major
ADC to HRH
The Duke of Gloucester
