Madame Emille Zola (sic)

            Enclosed you will find an abstract from the « Libre » of February 24th 1898.

            It so expresses the thoughts of many Americans, that I have ventured to send it to you. If your brave husband is really sent to prison, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he, almost alone, raised his voice in defense of  one whom few Americans even thought guilty.

            Accept the sympathy of one woman's warm heart and tell Monsieur Zola that his unbounded courage and honesty were admirable, especially at such a cost Madame Dreyfus has the sympathy also of thousands of American who have never doubted her husband's innocence.

            These Jew words from one so far away may confort you a little in your hour of trial and sorrow.

            That is my sincere wish.

            Believe me, Madam.

            Sincerely,

            Marine S. Rinaldy
