“We have the strongest influences working for us which will use all their efforts to succeed.” — Telegram from French Agent in the United States, to his principal at Tours, in France, October, 1870. |
“With the very friendly feeling I find existing to aid France, I hope to be able to procure more guns. The question of making the cartridges at the Government Works was a difficult one to get over, but it is done.” — Letter from Remington, French Agent, to President of Armament Committee in France, December, 1870. |
“A year ago I had this subject forced upon my attention by letters, resolutions and remonstrances from German born citizens, who believed the Government was selling arms to the French. I did all I could in private to stop the sales. For a while the sales were stopped, but after the November election in that year they were resumed, if indeed they had been stopped.” — Carl Schurz in Senate, February 15. |
