The Italian Chargé d’Affaires to the Secretary of State.
Washington, December 31, 1912.
Mr. Secretary of State: The Royal Ministry for Foreign Affairs has directed me to report immediately the reasons why the Royal Embassy has thus far been unable to reach a solution in the case of the indemnity due for the lynching of the Italian subject Angelo Albano at Tampa, Florida, on September 20, 1910.
[Page 617]In order to be enabled to make the desired reply, I venture again to have recourse to your excellency’s well-known courtesy and to ask that you issue instructions to let the Royal Embassy have a reply to the note addressed to the Department of State by his excellency Marquis Cusani on the 24th of June last.
Thanking your excellency [etc.]
