AMERICAN RED CROSS.
Washington, D. C., November 9, 1910.
Mrs. David H. Wright,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Mrs. Wright:
I appreciate and thank you for your courtesy in dedicating to me, as President of the American Red Cross, this recent translation of Henri Dunant's "Un Souvenir de Solferino."
Whoever calls attention of the people to the sufferings and misery caused by war so that men realizing its results become loath to undertake it, performs a public service.
William Howard Taft
President American Red Cross.
