sent his letter to the Pope.
This gave rise to a statement in the
European press that the American bel

the publication in Paris and later in New
York of the correspondence between the
Pope and Mr.. Davis.

As this correspondence was historically
important it is here given in full. Mr..
Davis letter was as follows:

against the States and people which have
selected me as their President, and your
orders to your clergy to exhort the
people to peace and charity. 1 am deeply

the name of the Confederate States. our

as follows:
