THE PRESIDENT TO THE QUEEN.
Washington City, August 16th, 1858.
To Her Majesty Victoria, Queen of Great Britain:
The
President cordially reciprocates the congratulations of her Majesty, the
Queen, on the success of the great international enterprise accomplished
by science, skill and indomitable energy of the two countries.
It is a triumph more glorious, because far more useful to mankind, than
was ever won by conqueror on the field of battle.
May the
Atlantic Telegraph, under the blessing of Heaven, prove to be a bond of
perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations, and an
instrument destined by Divine Providence to diffuse religion,
civilization, liberty and law throughout the world.
In
this view, will not all nations of Christendom unite in a declaration
that shall be forever neutral, and that its communications shall be held
sacred in passing to their places of destination, even in the midst of
hostilities.
THE
QUEEN'S MESSAGE.
TO THE HONORABLE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
Her
Majesty desires to congratulate the President upon the successful
completion of this great work, in which the Queen has taken the deepest
interest.
The Queen is convinced that the President will
join with her in fervently hoping that the Electric Cable which now
connects Great Britain with the United States will prove an additional
link between the nations whose friendship is founded upon their common
interest and reciprocal esteem.
The Queen has much
pleasure in thus communicating with the President, and renewing to him
her wishes for the prosperity of the United States.
