"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,
