Secretary of State FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Turin, July 12, 1849

Dear Sir
I presented the memorandum that you sent me today to the Council of Ministers.
Considering the sad state in which many Italians refugees find themselves, the Council has decided to send immediately a person to Genoa charged with providing for the present emergency. I hope that you will see in this act a testimony of the lively sympathy aroused in us by the unhappy fate of so many Italians and that you will take note of our sincere desire to do everything for them that circumstances permit. In the meantime, it is my pleasure to express to you my great esteem.

M. Azeglio²
