Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters Written by the Fatherless Children of France to Their American Godparents As we have read the childish letters written SO laboriously and with such infinite pains, some of them sadly misspelt and guiltless of punctuation, others evidently censored by the maternal hand, and others still inspired by some older head, we have been profoundly moved and impressed. It seems that a great current of love has been set moving between these two republics, a current of disinterested, and selfless love finding expression on the one hand in generous helpfulness, on the other hand in loving gratitude. This current will grow until it becomes a great flood which will help to wash away the dark stains of conflict and will give us faith to believe in the high destiny of humanity. If the expression of the love of little children will help us to preserve this faith then the object of this little book is attained and it will again be true, as has happened all through the ages, that a little child shall lead us.
