President Loubet to President Roosevelt .
[Telegram.]
May 22,
1902.
At a time when the people of the United States, in presence of the delegates from France, are celebrating dear and glorious memories, I desire once more to convey to Your Excellency an expression of the deep gratitude of my country for the generous aid which the President of the Republic, both Houses of Congress, and the American nation have so lavishly extended to the sorely afflicted inhabitants of Martinique.
France will never forget this proof of fraternal amity which has been given it by the great Republic of the United States.
Emile Loubet.
