Dear Sir,
As we have now made up our mind to return to Italy, we beg you to send us back, as soon as possible, as we have children, who perhaps are dying of hunger; take pity of us, fathers of family, and we ask to be deported to Italy, as you think we are not able to work.
Respectfully,
(Sig.) Mondo Domenico
