…after greeting your majesty we wish to inform you that we have heard of the great progress which the institutes of knowledge and industry in your country enjoy its pure abundance.…So, we wish that our sons learn of these virtues so that it serve as a good beginning in following your example for the sake of spreading the light of knowledge in our country which is surrounded by ignorance, from all sides. We have placed our niece, princess ‘Doubant’ at the head of a delegation of girls of the English nobility to have the honour of kissing the trimmed fringes of the throne and imploring the kindness, so as she and her girl companions be the object of your highness’ attention. The young princess has been provided by a modest gift to your majesty…we wish you accept it. With glorification, and sincere love….signed: your humble servant, George II.
