Dear Sir,

            While ou and a perfect stranger to me, I cannot help but extend to you my heartfelt simpathy (sic) in your fight for principle, right, & justice.

            Justice in France seems to be but a farce in nowadays.

            Dreyfus in the Eyes of the Eyes of the (sic) universe since what you have proved in this case is innocent before God and all right minided people in my humble opinion. Jew or no Jew.

                        Yours very Truly
