Admirateur inconnu mais sincère de la grande citoyenne, champion (sic.) de la plus noble des causes, adresse à Melle Louise Michel, à l'occasion de l'infâme attentat dont elle a été la victime, l'expression de sa respectueuse et profonde sympathie. Il se félicite que l'assassin ait en partie manqué son coup. Il souhaite à la généreuse et vaillante amie des déshérités, une prompte et complète guérison.

I am an unknown but true admirer of the great citizen, winner of the noblest actions, and I send her my kindest regards and sympathy to Mrs. Louise Michel following the infamous attack against her. I am happy that the murderer failed. I hope that the generous and strong friend of miserable people will heal well and completely.
