In th1a eeoond requeat I am enoloe1ng a oop7

of my firat requeat dated aay 18 , 1939 of which I quote

the first few linea to JOUr ExoellenoJ. "There are t our of

us whioh bappineee depends on our lord and your Bxoellenoy.

Thie may sound ae foo lish to any one to bother JOUr

ExoellenoJ, in begging JOU to make ue four our happineee

to oome to, out I, a e a Cbrietian am oonvinoed tbBougb the

Bible when I read that Saint Paul tella ue that the

fooliehneee of thia world i a wiadom with God, alao our

lord bimeel f tella ua that "if we aak in t he name of our

Lord we ehall receive , and if we knook it shal l oe opened . "

The officers 1n charge have received your Bxoellenoy•o

letter and haveanewered me . Alao the American Coneul to

Albania have answered me of which you will find both of

these anewera enoloeed. Both. of t heae officers have done

their duty but I have loet not hope in God and in JOur

Exoellenoy to make my happineea oome to. And th.ie time I

come to JOU aa like one beggar in ~ old oountry which he

told me when I aa~ him,"Sir, thie 1e the eeoond time I ' m

seeing you at. thie door 4oo~lng t or 11. ;>leoe of breud ."

Tben ~.answered me,"Son, if yesterday when you eaw me at

this door if the maeter or hie mother wae hom.e my lolooking

would have been anewered". So I this time oome to JOU,

your Exoellenoy, through JOUr mother, whioh ehe, being

your mother, aha i a not onlJ going to give you this letter ,

oome t o , beoauee abe kDowe you batter than an;r one in the

world. In -:r firat plea with y oar Exoellenoy waa the oauae

of the f i nanoial difficulty, but th1a tiae it ia the war ,

wh1oh it ia iapeeaible to get permiaeion to so over and

nome baok with a wife.

Your Rxoellenoy will read troc the &n8Wer troc the

American Ooneul in Albania, the Legation'• waiting 11at

oonta~a the nacea of ' 0 noo-preferenoe applioanta who

have been considered eligible for i mmi gration vieaa •••.

and eo on, but I have hope 1n your Exoellenoy, all I oan

hope and ea;r that ;rou oan add one core and have 41 ana

possible that aha may oome aoon a e there is a ohanoe, now

while the way ia open.

You will understand that 11J¥ fianoeo this coming 14ay

will be two years registered a a a proapeotive immigrant

to thie country. I don't know what the oase ma;r be of

those who are registered for this country ahead of my

fiancee, but one thing I am aura , that even the f irst one

on the list for over nere, if he knew our oase, he would

volunteer hie turn for my fianooe to be the firet one.

Then he gladl y would wait two more yea.rs for hie t urn,

oeoause all our people !Albanians ) oone14er the engage­

ment ana marriage a moat aaorad obligation. ....~

I do not know how big a orillle or ain your Excellency c.~~•f

by disobeying the law of man, out on thia I am eure tha t you a

are obe;ring the law of God. I am oonv1noed in this through

the Bible , which tells ua in Pro verba ''There is no man

that cloeth good and ainneth not".

!bere are four of us which happ1neee depends on our Lord and your !xoellenoy. !bis cay sound ae foo11eh to anyone to bother your boellenoy in beggillg you to make ue four ou.r happineee to come to.

!ut I, as a ~~ristian am eoDTinoed through the !ible when I read that 5alllt :.ul tells ua the fooliabneaa of thia world 1a wisdom with Ood , eo our Lord Himself tolls ue that if we aak in tho name of our Lord wo reoeiTe. So haTing faith in the word of our ~ible I am fully oonTinoed that your Exoellenoy will not call this foolishness, but will hel p mo.

!ut now before I tell ~ problem to your !Xoellenoy I will begln a 11 ttle with my story which will bring q problem •o your !b'oellono:r. In 191!0 I enz:~e i .n ~hie country with my mother a.n4 ~bree siet~re end l ~~hWTed ap to now ae a ~oe citizen and etill liTing with ~ mother. Up to last year last ~arch, I wanted to get married and eo I became engaged with a girl in my old country Al bania anA l eent her the nffadaT1t of aupport that ehe ~•Y go to the American legation i n Albania and obtain e quota Tiea to oome to thia country and marry me. 5o ebe w~t ~o the American legation laet ~. 19~8 and abe was registered there for a quota but the J.merio&ll Coneul told her that we Will not promlee you and tell you when your Tiea will come. It may be between ai% months and f1Te yeara that you will wait but you write to your fiance that be may come here and get married and go together to the u. s. A. on none quota Tiaa.

!ow your !xoellenoy oomea ~ problem, that I up till now l baTe a home well fit to liTe in and all palo en~ A will haTe about $800 saTed until September. !ben if I go to Alb&llia to marry and come here it will not be enough for the expenaee beeidee the three to rour months •ime that l will loose from ~ work. '!hen wb~n I come hilT~ I will be w1 thout a pellllY in ~ pooltet anc! with no wor~ to begin *1 new lite. To get work again ie not ao eaey ae when you haTe a job 8lld leaTt it, but if abe oo~ee here on a quota tbie beginning of July it will cost me only ~300 tor her e%peneee, eo this way with the help or your !Xoellenoy tl make it poeeible tor that ehe may come on a quota by herself until to l eptember I will haTe a good beginning in ~ new li!e with e50o to begin and with a job.

Tour !xoellenoy in the beginning of thte requeet or ~ letter I mentioned the bappinese ot tour or ue, the f1ret two are rq fiancee and _,self Which we figure the houre to be ae long aa daye, eTeD September eeema to ua like agee, then to tell your !%oellenoy how long it may eeem r ou haTe erperienoed it yourself. The other two are our two mothere wh.toh aooording to their belief or ebrlatlan religi!on they belleTe that their a.uty to our Lore!

it then is performed when their children are gone in the Lord'e way that ie when their children all sot married. And I am tully oonT1noed that your !Xoellenoy as a parent youreelf have this belief. Being that we two are their last ehildren they will be the happiest ones to see that their duty is performed When they eee that their ehildren got married with your help. ~ow in their few days of their life they will bless your !Xoellenoy with all their heart and pray to Cod thet he may b~ees you and repay you. As for us two we will not forget you in our prayers that eur Lord will bl~~• 10u for our happinePe , whieh 1QU are the only one which made it possible.

Your !xoellenoy I have faith and all the hope o~ my heart that TOU can help ue to bring ue this happiness by writing to the American Consul in Albat~ia to give a Tisa to rq fiancee this coming fuly. M) fianoee's name and address is ~iee Urania L. Shandro, !o. 16 ~e Rruga 82~ , •e LagJen Uzgur, Berat , Albania. Your txoellenoy ! don't need to flatter you ror your good work thet you are doing for humanity knowing that you are a good Christian end believer 1n the Bible. 1 OODT1noe myself, and I say to myself that ! will beg the President of the country in the name or the Lord, which it ie sufficient to tell your ~xoellenoy what God wants us to do to help i~ it is po ~sible, in the naae of our Lord.

Your !xcellenoy this is my ~oblem ~nd you ar~ ~he only one that oan make this happiness to come to. I put it in a long story be1ng that 1 want 1~u to und~~etand my probl8m end that God our Lord may grant you Hie blessing to understand me and to gran~ me this happit~ees wbioh without your help, it ie i~os~1ble and our life wi11 be ruined.

Sir:

The Legation baa received an tnetruotion trom the Dopartlllllnt ot State in liash1.ngton requesting it to in­form you ot the present 1maligration status ot your ti­anoee, lolisa Ul'ania L. SMnc!ro.

Your tianoe'e registered at this ottice on way 26; 1938, as a prospective 1JIIn1grant to the United States. However, the Legation's waiting list contains the names ot 40 non-preference applicants who have been considered eligible tor imm1gra tion viaaa on pre llminary examina­

tion ot their documents and whose registration dates are prior to that ot your fiancee. For eeveral years not more than tan numbers bave bean available tor non- prefer­ence applloanta during auy one quota year. This year the quota was tilled entirel.7 by applicants ot the pre­terence olaasea. .&.ooor41ng to the e:r:perianoe ot this ottioe during the past tin years it would appear that your tianoe'e would have to wait tour years or more be­tore her turn on the waiting list would be r~aohed.

However, it you should pr oceed abroad and marry your tianoee, her status would beoome that ot a aeoond preteranoe applicant under the Albanian quota, provided you are a le­sall7 admitted al.ien reaidant in the united states. rn that oaae a quota number would p.robabl.7 be available tor her uae during the month ot .&.uguat, 1939, provided her doo~&anta and attidavita are in order and she is otherwise eligible tor a via& under the Immigration Laws and Regulations.
