My dear Signor Rossetti,
Pistrucci told me that he would undertake to beg you to allow your voice to be heard, in one way or other, at the Anniversary of our School, 10th November.[98] Still, I will join to his my poor request. The fact of the School is an Italian fact; and it ought, even with a view to the English, to have the moral support of all Italians who, like yourself, do honour to the name of our common country.
Confiding in your willingness to hearken to our request, believe, dear Signor Rossetti, in the full friendly esteem of
Yours,
Giuseppe Mazzini.
