July 18, 1932
I AM SORELY grieved to learn of Mr. Jusserand's death and Mrs. Hoover and I send you our sincere sympathy in your bereavement. France has lost a distinguished and loyal citizen and the United States a true and firm friend whose wonderful influence for right and justice has meant so much in our relations with France. We mourn with our sister Republic the passing of this truly great man.
HERBERT HOOVER
Note: M. Jusserand, French Ambassador to the United States from 1902 to 1925, died at his home in Paris.
