Letter
GEUGEL, Editor of the Bund to Andrew Johnson, April 18, 1865
[Translation.]
Berne, April 18, 1865.
Sir: As a token of sympathy for the cause for which the Union has fought and achieved with so brilliant success in the interest of democracy and humanity, the undersigned takes the liberty to send you the accompanying article on the fall of Richmond. According to the conviction at which I have arrived from the voice of the Swiss press, that article is the expression of the predominant public sentiment of Switzerland.
May the Union extend her military triumph to a complete civil regeneration of the United States and secure republican freedom upon firm ground forever.
With the most distinguished consideration, your obedient servant,
F. GEUGEL, Editor of the Bund.
His Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the United States of America.
