Perpignan, France, May 31, 1865.
Very Dear Brethren: All friends of humanity shuddered with horror when they heard of the death of the illustrious Lincoln; and the world sympathizes with the great nation that trusted him with their destinies.
Our lodge takes part in your affliction, and that of the family of the lamented President.
We ask you, brothers, to be the interpreters of our regrets to the inconsolable widow, by transmitting to her the enclosed pieces to her husband’s memory.
Accept our fraternal salutations.
BOURGUET,
the Venerable.
D. RAYNAL.
