Editor of the Bund, Bern:

Dear Sir: Your invitation to join in the address to the American people has been received. I willingly accede to it; but as several private addresses have already been circulated here, it will be impossible to obtain many more names.

I enclose several subscription lists of the Polish emigrants in this part of the country.

Yours, respectfully,

WILHELM HABICHT.
