Translation:
Expresses feelings of solitude, nostalgia. He has written to no one other than Raffaele. It is now a year since the trial which convinced the world of their innocence. Talks about his cause – of workers in general – Thayer – the help of the world proletariat – the role of the press. He has received comforting words from Italy. They may be victims, but the people will triumph. P.S. Greetings to members of “Frustra,” and please send news of Italy.
