Mr. Hanotaux to
Mr. Eustis.
Mr. Ambassador: Your excellency has been
good enough to express to me, in the name of the honorable Mr.
Gresham, Secretary of State, the deep feeling of emotion with which
the Government of the United States and the American nation were
apprised of the crime of which President Carnot has been the victim,
and to communicate to me the resolutions passed on this occasion by
the Senate and by the House of Representatives.
In accordance with your desire I have not failed to make known these
marks of sympathy to Madame Carnot and to the members of the
Government of the Republic, who have been particularly touched by
their expression.
I beg your excellency to be assured of their gratitude and to kindly
make known their feelings to the American Government.
Please accept, etc.,
