(Typewritten, black ink, body text):

In my last letter to you, dated May 25, 1942, requesting / that my case receive consideration, I brought to your attention, / among other things, the fact that the health of my wife has been / impaired due to a nervous breakdown when I was apprehended and / due to the death of her mother on May 16, 1942. I further advised you to grant my release due to this situation.

I am writing you again, to let you know that on August 30, / 1942, I received a letter from my wife's sister advising me that / my wife had undergone a serious attack of her gall blatter for / which she must be operated immediately. Due to her nervous state / and poor physical conditions, I beg of you to consider my case / with a view of obtaining my release, or else obtain permission / to be present at the operation and thereby give my wife courage. / As far as I am concerned, I can assure you in the most absolute / way that I shall be very grateful to your department and to this / country if this will be effected.

I hope that you will consider my appeal favorably for the / sake of my wife, who was born and raised in Canada, and to help / her in this critical moment of her life. I submit myself to any / condition or restriction whatsoever so long as I shall receive / consideration now. I am an Italian citizen and have resided in / this country forthe past 20 years.

Trusting that you will give my case your immediate attention, / and thanking you for your kind consideration and reply, I am,

Remerciements
