Excerpt from Narrative of the British Mission to Theodore, King of Abyssinia, Vol. 2 of 2: With Notices of the Countries Traversed From Massowah, Through the Soodan, the Amhara, and Back to Annesley Bay, From Magdala I had the honour of receiving your gracious letter yesterday, by Lija Abita and Kasa, and was glad to find from its contents that your Majesty was in perfect health. I pray Almighty God to continue His blessings towards you, and to Show me the light of your countenance soon. The two lion cubs and the antelope, which your Majesty has been good enough to send me, reached me safely, and I return you my best thanks for them, and for the other favours which your Majesty has shown me since I entered your country. By the assistance of our Heavenly Father, I trust never to prove unworthy Of your great kindness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
