“Mr Senator, Thank you for your kind letter.  My conference lasts from 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 30 and you can have absolutely peace of mind, there is not a word that could offend anyone's convictions . I believe I was raised by my father with very broad ideas, I have never been involved in politics, I hope never to be in politics and as I consider that there is something respectable in all opinions, I respect everyone . I am religious without being clerical, very friendly to the people without being a socialist, respectful of traditions without being hostile to progress. For my part, I will be very happy and very honored to make your acquaintance and I ask you to accept the assurance of my most earnest and respectful feelings. JB.Charcot »
