[Translation.]

Bulle, Canton of Fribourg,
May 12, 1865.

To the Bund, Berne:

As no one seems to have the courage to get up a particular demonstration of sympathy for the cause of the northern States of America in this place, we, resident Germans, have thought proper to call a meeting and declare our approval of the general Swiss address, and to express our pleasure at the northern victories, and our grief for the murder of President Lincoln.

In thanking the Berne committee for having taken the initiative in this affair, the undersigned beg leave to express their high esteem for the promoters of the good cause.
