Report from The Vegetarian (London) July 14, 1900:
THE VEGETARIAN CONFERENCE IN PARIS
By kindness of Mr. Harry Phillips (Secretary of the Vegetarian Federal
Union) we are enabled to give the following interesting resumé
of the proceedings of the Vegetarian Conference recently held in Paris.
The leading article this week formed Mr. Hill's contribution to the addresses
there read. The documents which have been translated, were accompanied
by the following letter to Mr. Phillips :-
13 Rue Froissart, Paris
30th June, 1900
"Dear Sir,
In order to save you the delay which must take place before the publication
of the official report, which will not appear till July, I am sending
you, in accordance with your request, the resumé of the
proceedings at the Congress.
We all have aggreeable recollections of the pleasant days we passed
together, during which we joined in working for the advancement of our
great cause ; we shall hope to have the same pleasure when we meet again
at Brussels, in 1901.
Meantime, remember us most kindly to our genial President, Mr. Hills,
and with our kindest regards to you my dear Mr. Phillips.
Believe me, yours truly,
J. Morand,
Secretary and Treasurer of the Vegetarian Society of France.
