"Though much shaken and sorely afflicted by the many sorrows and trials which have fallen upon me during these past years, I will not lose courage, and with the ' help of Him who has never forsaken me, will strive to labour on, for the sake of my children and for the good of the country I love so well, as long as I can." The Queen also thanks all other countries, and especially France, for their sympathy.
