^{page 572 note 1} Fifteen long letters, one accompanied by a draft for a Swiss League of Human Rights, written by Durant to Emil Jordy, were acquired in 1938 by the Swiss National Library. As the Conservator of that Library's manuscripts, I have had them put on display and I showed them to Mr. Thorès Bodet, UNESCO Director-General and to his successor Mr. Luther Evans.

^{page 577 note 1} These extracts of Dunants' manuscripts were originally in French of which we now give the English translation.

These give many facts on human rights in Switzerland and mention that Dunant himself drafted a project for a Ligue suisse des droits humains a manuscript of which is in the Swiss National Library.

^{page 582 note 1} The letter of 25 January 1902 stipulated the shape of the red cross at the same time as it revealed Dunant's respect for the Geneva Committee's Honorary President: “Take care that the cross is a Greek cross (5 equal squares) and not like the new Federal Cross, as General Dufour, who is sufficient authority I presume, had decided as General in Chief of the Confederation and in agreement with all Federal authorities that the Swiss Cross would be “a white Greek cross against a background of Gules.”
