File No. 311.651T15/361b.

The Secretary of State to the Italian Ambassador.

Excellency: I have the honor to inform you that the Congress of the United States, out of humane considerations and without reference to the question of the liability therefor, has by an Act this day approved appropriated the sum of $6,000 to be paid to the Italian Government as full indemnity to the heirs of Angelo Albano, the Italian subject who was killed by an armed mob at Tampa, Florida, on the 20th day of September, 1910.

It gives me pleasure to enclose herewith in payment of this account a warrant on the Treasurer of the United States payable to your order. Accompanying the warrant you will find a voucher which I will thank you to sign and return to me.

Accept [etc.]

W. J. Bryan.
