Letter

William Waldorf Astor to Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, September 16, 1884

No. 238. Mr. Astor to Mr. Frelinghuysen.

No. 95.]

Sir: I have the honor to inclose herewith a copy and translation of a note received from the ministry of foreign affairs relating to the demand that the Rev. Father Valentine Teodoro Lanciotti may visit Italy unmolested.

I regret to say that the Italian Government refuses to grant such a permission, and if the reverend father should return to Italy he will be treated as one who has willfully failed to perform military duty and enrolled into the Italian army.

I have, &c.,

WILLIAM WALDORF ASTOR.
