Title:
Nicola Sacco autographed letter signed to "Compagni carissimi", Dedham, 24 April 1927
Description:
Regarding his refusal to sign further appeals. Translation: “After my refusal of other legal recourses before the sentence, I thought that my silence would have convinced you or have justified that I would continue to refuse to sign any other request for appeal. Therefore I see today that a declaration from me is necessary." Compagni & amici carissimi, “after 7 years... continues saying how all legal means have been exhausted, there is on hope for them, therefore, “Leave us at least that which we have loved and suffered, which in the segregation of these 7 years kept us alive, (i.e. their ideals). Speaks of his wife and recognizes comrades’ dedication. They have no more illusions but hope in a vision of the future, when the oppressors who killed them will fail. Ends with further words of praise for them.
