Sir William Knollys to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland on the occasion of the Prince of Wales' marriage | Private Secretary to the Prince of Wales [Edward VII]'.

A day will be named in the mean time 'for the reception of the Address from the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland'. Somewhat anachronistically, Knollys employs the long s.
