Transcription
[Translation.]
Paris, May 20, 1865.
Sir: I have the honor of sending you with this letter several copies of an ode I have composed in honor of Abraham Lincoln, and two letters, one for the widow of the great man, and the other for Mr. Johnson, now President of the United States.
I shall be infinitely obliged to you if you will send them to their destinations in the shortest possible time.
You will also do me the favor to fix a day when I can have a brief interview with you.
Accept my sympathy for your glorious country, and the assurance of my most distinguished consideration.
PAUL THOUZERY.
To Mr. Bigelow,
Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America.
