page 369 note 1 In February 1864, Mr. Uytterhoeven wrote to Gustave Moynier in Geneva; we give below our translation of his letter:

Dear Mr. President,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of the Journals which you sent and for which I thank you.

We have just founded a Relief Committee along the lines of your own. We will communicate with your Central Committee as soon as we have received from His Majesty's aide de camp his acceptance of our offer of the presidency.

Only one thing is delaying matters; we are short of bulletins giving the resolutions adopted at the International Conference. May I therefore ask your permission to have them reprinted in Brussels? This is an indispensable document for the propagation of your fine and much needed initiative.

Please accept the assurance of my high consideration. I would be obliged also if you would convey to Mr. Dunant my esteem and admiration for his magnificent work and active charity.

André Uytterhoeven.
