Scope and Contents

On being shut in, being tired of legal practices, and lack of faith in Webster Thayer or new trial. 2 s. ( 3p.) In Italian.

Translation:

“It has been two years that I have been shut into a small cell, always shut in, except for visiting time . . .” “Only after the trial did I get one hour a day in the courtyard, and if I feel fairly well, I owe it to exercise in my cell . ..” He goes on to say that he is tired of being a prisoner, sick of legal practices, that Sacco should beware of Thayer. “They will condemn us again, if there is a new trial. My faith is in my friends and in the proletariat.”

“Love to the Old one and the Old ones . . .”
