Par leur inépuisable générosité et leur grande sympathie, ils apportent aujourd’hui à la France, qui combat pour sa liberté, l’aide la plus précieuse et le plus puissant réconfort.
LETTER FROM GENERAL JOFFRE
[TRANSLATION]
Headquarters of the Commander-in-chief
of the Armies of the French Republic
August 18ᵗʰ 1915
The United States of America have never forgotten that the first page of the history of their independence was partly written in French blood.
Inexhaustibly generous and profoundly sympathetic, these same United States now bring aid and solace to France in the hour of her struggle for liberty.
J. Joffre
