Dear Sir: — 



On the twelfth instant, at the general meeting of this Society, your noble message, 

 received through Colonel Soliani, was duly communicated and was' warmly welcomed and 

 enthusiastically cheered. It is now my pleasant task to convey to your Society the warm 

 thanks of our own for their kind and gentle greetings, and tell them how greatly appreciated 

 they have been, and how reciprocated they are, as an expression of the friendly sentiments 

 linking our two countries, and which the gallant sons of your great nation have brilliantly 

 cemented on the Italian battlefields with the sons of Italy. 



Yours truly, 



A. SIVIBANTI, 



Propresident.
