    "description": "Discussing recent events and his feeling of hopelessness. Translation: “Since April 9 when I was transferred to the Superior Court in Dedham to be sentenced to death, I was brought to this prison because the law of Massachusetts requires that those who are sentenced to death be held in the county in which they were tried, up to ten days before execution. Nicola and I will remain here probably until July 1 ... He hasn’t been getting “Nuovo Mundo\" since you deep sending it to Charlestown. Sends thanks for all they have done. “The time left to us is very short... Then more about sending him the paper. Now I want to speak to you of our case. There is little hope left; there is the bad precedent of Mooney and Billings. “I fear not the matter under investigation, a hundred times no, but I fear the investigators. He explains the process open to the Governor – a Commission of Review – he was satisfied with those chosen, but two of them declined. He quotes Mario Mariani about the 400 are “digging their iron talons into us, the bourgeois press and the police. Expresses his distrust in them. Greetings.",
