4to. 2 pp. Autograph copy of his letter to the Swiss students' societies Zofingue and Paedagogia, whom he mails a gift as a memento of the September banquet he recently attended, thanking them for their hospitality. Munier recalls a solemn toast to Switzerland proposed during the party, and gives another toast to the academic youth of Geneva and all of Switzerland, encouraging them to be eager to serve their country and ready to defend it on the battlefield. He concludes with the promise to renew this toast continuously until the end of his career, and later to take it to his grave: "Vous ne refuserez pas au Recteur de l'Académie le plaisir de fixer, au milieu de vous, par un signe durable le souvenir de nos Fêtes à Septembre. Acceptez le, comme un faible gage de ma gratitude pour l'accueil sympathique et presque filial que je reçus de vous au banquet de la Brassérie. Veuillez le garder long-tem[p]s en témoignage de notre sainte émotion, a l'heure où, la tête découverte, avec le pays entier debout comme nous nous porterons le toast à la Suisse, notre patrie bien-aimée [.] Et je voudrais aussi qu'alors l'un de vous et de vos successeurs s'en servit pour porter, en mon nom, un autre toast à la jeunesse Académique de Genève et de la Suisse entière! aux jeunes travailleurs de la pensée! Qu'ils soient jaloux de servir la patrie par la Société de leur savoir, et prets, à la défendre à la frontière par leur bras et au besoin de leur sang. Ce toast sera maintenu jusqu'à la fin de ma carrière et je l'emporterai au tombeau [.]". - On headed stationery of the Académie de Genève. Small marginal flaws. Codice articolo 56666
