TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCESS ELIZABETH.
May it please Your Highness,
We, the Committee appointed by the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland to draw up a Loyal Address to His Most Excellent Majesty The King, next year, deem it proper and dutiful on behalf of our people, to send Your Royal Highness and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten our warmest felicitations on the occasion of your marriage.
We would express our loyal attachment to you both and wish you every happiness personally and in your married life; which we hope, by the blessing of God who instituted the honourable estate of marriage, will be for His glory, the good of the Nation and the maintenance of the Protestant constitution of the same.
We recall with gratitude the high ideals set before the country by both of you; and our desire is that you will continue to an inspiration to all classes within the Nation and Empire, in everything that tends to the general welfare, and the moral, and spiritual uplift of the people.
That the Lord Jesus Christ may bless you both with all spiritual blessings and enrich your lives with His gracious presence, is our earnest wish.
On behalf of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, JOHN TALLACH,
Moderator, November, 1947.
