Appreciation Of New Zealand And Its Railways

Appreciation Of New Zealand And Its Railways.

From Lady de Chair (wife of Sir Dudley de Chair, Governor of New South Wales), to Mr. H. H. Sterling, General Manager, New Zealand Railways:—

I want to thank you all once more, on behalf of my husband and all of us, for the unfailing courtesy and generous hospitality you and your Department have shown us during our wonderful visit to the Dominion of New Zealand.

The courtesy with which we have been treated everywhere has made even the longest journeys a pleasure, and we all carry away most cordial memories of your beautiful Islands. Again many thanks from His Excellency and myself.—Yours very sincerely, Enid de Chair.
