Letter

Pruvot to Madam Lincoln by a great majority of the students of the Faculty of Protestant Theology at Strasbourg, May 5, 1865

Address sent to Madam Lincoln by a great majority of the students of the Faculty of Protestant Theology at Strasbourg.

Madam: The undersigned, students of the Faculty of Protestant Theology at Strasbourg, identify themselves with the great sorrow caused by the crime of which President Lincoln has been the victim for having re-established the Union and destroyed slavery.

They know that even should the powers of evil triumph momentarily in the world, Christ will reign in the end, and with Him justice and liberty.

Receive, &c., in the name of the subscribers.,

E. L. PRUVOT.
