The American Minister at Windor Castle.
--
Mr. Dallas, our Minister, as has been stated, has been invited, with
Mrs. Dallas, to spend a few days at
Windsor.
The
Queen received him most graciously, and constantly displayed in her conversation with him the highest appreciation of the manner in which the
Prince of
Wales has been received in the States.
She was exceedingly courteous, and devoted herself with zeal to the entertainment of her guests, walking with
Mrs. Dallas in the castle grounds, and driving them about in the park.
She has received great pleasure from the kindly feeling displayed towards the
Prince in
America, and she testifies it by this act of friendly politeness; for it is not customary for any who are not personally intimate with some member of the
Royal family to be invited to
Windsor, and since
Mr. Stevenson was here, twenty years ago, this privilege has never been extended to any American Minister.
