17 Jul 1899
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.
I have notified to the Lord Chancellor and to the Speaker our high appreciation of the honour done us.
I need not say with what great satisfaction I am able to communicate the above result of you indefatigable work and able cooperation you afforded me during the Campaign.
Yours very truly
Kitchener of Khartoum.
