His Excellency' s Answer

v3:1004

I return the House of Lords my sincerest thanks for this kind and obliging Address. I consider it not only as the most honourable proof of their regard and esteem, but it is a very distinguished instance of their approbation of my conduct during a residence of near three years in this Kingdom; and that I may not be undeserving of the continuance of it, I shall take every opportunity of representing to His Majesty the unshaken loyalty and affection of the House of Lords, and do every thing in my power to promote the happiness and prosperity of Ireland.
