Letter

Moustier to John A. Dix, June 15, 1867

[Translation.]

Mr. Moustier to Mr. Dix

General: I received the letter which you did me the honor to write on the 8th of this month, transmitting a copy of an address signed by a large number of citizens of the United States on the occasion of the criminal attempt of the 6th of June. I hastened to place this communication before the Emperor, who was greatly affected by it, and I conform to his orders in conveying to you the expression of his Majesty’s sincere thanks.

Accept assurances of the high consideration with which I have the honor to be, general, your very humble and very obedient servant,

MOUSTIER.

General Dix, Minister of the United States, Paris.
