My dear Sir:
I am commanded by H. H. The Khedive to acknowledge the receipt of the copy of your book Present-Day Egypt, which you have so kindly forwarded for his acceptance.
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.
