My dear Hunter,
I have been requested by the Lord Chancellor to inform you that a vote of thanks of the House of Lords was passed to you in that house on the 8th inst. without a dissentient voice, and by the Speaker of the House of commons to forward you the enclosed copy of the vote of thanks passed in that House.
