Letter from Mr. Chamberlain to Lord Strathcona:

Highbury
Moor Green,
Birmingham,

17th. January 1900

'Dear Lord Strathcona,

Many thanks for your letter and enclosed copy of telegram to Sir Wilfred Laurier. The arrangements seem to me to be perfect, and there can be no doubt that the force which will be established by your generosity will do good service to the Empire in the present crisis.

I very much appreciate the patriotic feeling which has moved you in this matter.

Believe me,
Yours very truly,
(Signed) J. Chamberlain"
