User-Contributed Transcription 4
It is not the records of the case, its evidences and testimony that I fear - for I know that in good justice they would freed, not two men, no matter if poor, Italians and anarchists, but two scorpions they would freed. Comrade Debs, you know what it is that I fear.
My sisters wish to have Gene's picture. I send for three litographies and received them. They are quite faithful in their lines - but not even a genius could impress in a picture the radiance and beauty and the spirit and goodness emanating by your brother. Consequently, I wish to have, at least a as near as possible picture of Him, to send to my family, and I would be very glad and very grateful if you can provide it to me.
This is all for now. Hoping to find you improving and all of your family in good health, I send to all of you Nick's and my greetings and regards, Salute.

Yours always,
Bartolomeo Vanzetti
