A'LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OF THE TOWN
OF BUSIGNY TO CAPTAIN. STEPHEN:N. BOBE,
AMERICAN RED CROSS
ATTACHED TO THE 27th AMERICAN DIVISION

“ In the name of the population of the village of Busigny and its
neighboring localities, I wish to convey to you our deep feelings
of gratitude for all the gifts we have received from the American
Red Cross, even under Boche bombardment. Your gifts were
inestimable to us who, during four years, have suffered under the
heavy heel and brutal yoke of Prussianism. We will never forget
that it is thanks to the countrymen of our liberators that we owe
the first delicate attentions that have been shown us and of which
we were deprived since the first days of the war. I should be
very much obliged if you would kindly transmit the expression of
our profound gratitude to the splendid organization of which you
are the devoted messenger.
~ Your name will live eternally in our memory and the admiration
that we feel will never die for he who, in spite of the greatest
danger, has come even within our walls, and runs the risk of war
to brmo relief to our miseries.

Please accept, Sir, the expression of my gratitude and admlra-
tlan: "

E. MAIRER.
