      Prince Albert writes that they are pleased with Saldanha's victory. He refers to Colonel Wylde's conversation with Dietz and points out that Dietz staying and getting behind the Queen [of Portugal] are 'old tricks'. Prince Albert also mentions that the King [of Portugal] still writes with affection for Colonel Wylde despite Dietz's attempts to damage him. Prince Albert finally thanks Colonel Wylde for the acorns and outlines the reshuffle in his Household.
