Transcription Notes:
wasn't sure how to transcribe the people with the same role at the top
Added one phrase that was missing:
"ALL CORRESPONDENCE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO
THE AMERICAN AID SOCIETY OF PARIS, 10, RUE DE L'ÊLYSÊE, PARIS "
Also, the accent marks on the word ÊLYSÊE are not correct - I'm not sure how to change them from 'accent circomflex' (the triangular shape) to 'accent egu'(the forward slash shape)
