I trust my telegram of greeting to the Austrian Peace Union reached
the meeting in time.
Our League, founded at Geneva in the year 1867 under the chairmanship
of Garibaldi and Victor Hugo, was the first peace society, I think,
that elected a woman to its committee. This will show you, gracious
lady, how deeply we wish you well in your noble initiative. With all
our hearts we extend to the newly founded society our sympathy and
devotion.
Charles Lemonnier
Président de la Ligue de la paix et de la liberté à Genève
