Letter

Drouyn de Lhuys to John Bigelow, April 26, 1865

Mr. Drouyn de Lhuys to Mr. Bigelow.

Sir: The telegrams published in the evening papers inform me of the horrible crime of which Messieurs Lincoln and Seward have been the victims. I would not delay a moment longer to express to you our profound sympathy.

Yours, very sincerely,

DROUYN DE LHUYS.

John Bigelow, Esq., United States Minister, Paris.
