MESSAGE FROM BYRD
THANKS FOR HOSPITALITY. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 28. The following telegram has been received by the Governor-General from Rear-Admiral Byrd, in reply to is Excellency's message to the Admiral on his departure from New Zealand: — “Thank you most heartily for your radio wishing a pleasant voyage to my comrades and myself. I appreciate also your expressions concerning our stay in New Zealand, and assure you we enjoyed our visit immensely. On all sides we received kindness which has been remarkable in its sincerity. It is a fine, encouraging thing to receive such hospitality so far from one’s homeland. After my visit here, I cannot but think we are far apart in distance only. It seems to me that in all fundamental things the people of New Zealand and the people of my country are close in kinship. Kindest personal regards to you, Lady Bledisloe, and your staff, and again many thanks for your hospitality.— Richard Byrd.”
