Letter
Jules Ferry to James C. Morton, July 4, 1884
[Inclosure 3 in No. 582.—Translation.]
Mr. Ferry to Mr. Morton.
Paris, July 4, 1884.
My Dear Mr. Morton: As you may be aware, I have been seriously indisposed, and in order properly to fulfil all my duties I have to take certain precautions to which I am little accustomed.
The work of yesterday was very fatiguing for me, and I have, therefore, been ordered complete rest to-day.
The Government of the Republic will be represented upon the occasion by several ministers. Above all others, I shall feel regret at my inability to personally attend this fete of the fraternity of the two great Republics; but you know that I shall be there in the spirit, in heart, and in soul.
Believe, my dear Mr. Morton, in my entire devotion.
JULES FERRY.
