This letter is not ready to be reread it is sealed in the stones of the base at the same time as objectes belonging to the members during the inauguration .(Romain)

3)The United States financed and built the base instead of resting the Statue of Liberty. There was more difficulty in getting the project funded on this side of the Atlantic because the Americans did not really see the point. The base, in fact, was as expensive as the statue itself. Bartholdi's original "quote" in 1871 was $125,000; an astronomical sum for the time. As a result, the American construction site was almost abandoned.(Valentin)
