I am to say that His Highness has read it with much pleasure and interest, as it is the only book published on Egypt of to-day by an author thoroughly acquainted with the subject through long residence and official position in the country.
I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Signed) Alfred B. Brewster, Private Secretary to H. H. the Khedive.
