add to cart   close window

The article presents information about a letter dated July 26, 1927 received by "The Nation" from the penitentiary at Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The communication from the penitentiary in Port-au-Prince then goes on to tell of the difficulties with the cable company. The cablegram was received by All America Cable Inc., and paid for, on the 16th, but the company returned it to the sender on the July 21 with a letter saying that the Haitian Government had forbidden the sending of the cable. All America Cable accepted the cablegram, but asked the sender to write take defense instead of take action.
