Sir,

We thank you for the visit you are paying Us, accompanied by the Lady Mayoress of London and high personages of the government of the City, together with Her Britannic Majesty’s Minister to this Holy See and his gracious lady.

You have been the official guests of the Mayor of Our City of Rome, and We are happy to observe the closer and warmer relations between the two great Capitals which result from such courtesies.

Through your good offices, Sir, We send deferential greetings to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and the Royal Family, and cordial salutations to the citizens of London. Upon all We invoke abundant graces and blessings from Almighty God.
