The equerry stated that the Duke of Wind-> sor had telegraphed to President Miklas thanking the Government, the police, the postal officials, and people of all classes for their untiring kindness and! hospitality. :
The Duke of Windsor was in excellent spirits, and came out to oblige the Press photographers, with whom he jested in German, asking where they all came from.
