It will be remembered that His Royal Highness asked the Bank to undertake for him the distribution of Canadian-grovm peony plants to His Excellency, the Govemor»General, the Prime Minister and members of his Cabinet, the Lieut.-Governors and Premiers of the Provinces; also to all cities, towns and incorporated vil- lages throughout Canada. The dis- tribution was made through the bran- ches of the Bank with the co-operation and assistance of His Majesty's mails, and the hundreds of letters received from mayors and other public offic- ials showed how greatly the royal gift was appreciated. These letters, con- veying the thanks of the various com- munities and expressing loyalty and devotion, were bound in a handsome portfolio and transmitted by the Bank of Montreal to Vice-Admiral Sir Lio- nel Halsey, Comptroller of the Prince of Wales' Household. The following letter from Sir Vincent Meredith, Bart., to the Comptroller, dated from the head office, Bank of Montreal, Jan. 2lBt, accompanied the portfolio. "Sir, â€" I have the honor to forward to you under separate cover for the information of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, a portfolio con- taining copies of letters of appreci- ation and grateful thanks for the gift of peony plants that His Royal Highness so graciously sent to the cities, towns and villages, through feast the fishermen say.
