Letter
Broglie to Bigelow, January 12, 1866
[Translation.]
Mr. Broglie to Mr. Bigelow,
Paris, January 12, 1866.
Mr. Ministre: I have received the letter by which you have done me the honor to communicate to me the act of the Congress of the United States proclaiming the suppression of slavery throughout the whole extent of the confederation.
I beg that you will accept my cordial thanks for this favor. It is with profound satisfaction that I have learned the final success of a cause which interests in so high a degree all the friends of humanity, and to which I have been happy to dedicate the greater part of the labors of my public life.
Be kind enough, Mr. Ministre, to accept the assurance of my high consideration.
V. BROGLIE.
Mr. Bigelow, Minister of the United States, &c., Paris.
