411.65 Palumbo, Rosolino/15

The Italian Ambassador (Rosso) to the Acting Secretary of State

The Italian Ambassador presents his compliments to the Honorable Acting Secretary of State and, referring to the Embassy’s note of January 19 [9], 1933, has the honor to invite his kind attention on the opportunity of reaching as soon as possible a definition of the case concerning the death of the Italian citizen Rosolino Palumbo.

The Ambassador would be much obliged to the Honorable Acting Secretary of State for having the appropriate authorities solicited to send a prompt and exhaustive reply to the objections contained in the note indicated above, so that all penal and civil responsibilities in the death of the said Italian subject may be ascertained.

The desire of the Ambassador to have the question speedily and satisfactorily settled arises, not only from the delicate nature of the case, but also from the evident moral and material interest that its investigation presents for the family of the deceased.
