The certificate comes with a period typed English translation and mentions the children's admiration for great Americans such as Mark Twain and Thomas Edison.
Excerpt from certificate:
"Particularly we love Mark Twain and Edison. The Tales of Mark Twain "The adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn" charms us. About Edison we know that this great old man has made many ingenious inventions for the welfare of mankind."
The American Relief Administration, an organization chaired by future US President Herbert Hoover, later sent the certificate with translation and cover letter to Thomas Edison as they thought he would enjoy seeing it. Cover letter dated December 28, 1923 from George Barr Baker.

"
Thank him for sending the commendation. They will not forget Hoover very soon"
and signed
