,
April 26, 1865.
Sir: The telegrams published in the evening papers inform me of the horrible crime of which Messieurs Lincoln and Seward have been the victims. I would not delay a moment longer to express to you our profound sympathy.
Yours, very sincerely,
DROUYN DE LHUYS.
John Bigelow, Esq.,
United States Minister, Paris.
