HAND-WRITTEN LETTER addressed to the President of the Cercle des Universités Américaines in Paris

Amiens, 14 9bre 98
Dear Sir,
Neither my age nor my health allow me to
attend the dinner hosted by the Cercle des Universités
Americans in Paris. I couldn't be more
honoured by the kind invitation I have received
through you. I would have been delighted
find myself among the representatives of a country
for whom I have such deep sympathy,
I would therefore ask you, dear Sir, to pass on
to the members of the committee
my most sincere regrets, and to personally receive
Yours faithfully
Jules Verne.
