Responses to Baha'u'llah from kings

Does anyone know of responses to Baha'u'llah's letters/tablets from the various kings and rulers in 'The Summons of the Lord of Hosts'?

lol... but didnt they ignore him (that was the whole point, no?)
I think Queen Marie of Romania replied back... or Queen Victoria... ?
I'll have a look for you online...

EDIT: ok, so I found something:

I would look in God Passes By, and the Promised Day is Come, for Shoghi Effendi's explanations of the responses of the kings. I was reflecting today on the greatness of God's mercy. Queen Victoria's response was not all that great, "If it is from God it will endure; if not, it can do no harm" -- but it was about the best of any of the royal responses. God looks for excuses to show His mercy.
