Italy -- Emigration and immigration -- History, Italian letters, Italians -- United States -- History -- 20th century
Vincenzo writes in response to Giuseppina’s letter from February 19th. His prayers have been answered, she is cured. He was pleased to hear that Alfredo and family received her and treated her well. He requested her not to argue with Gugliermo and said that he would take care of the relations when he came to America. He sent a suitcase with 20,000 lira through a new company. That morning he went to the bank regarding her ticket for passage to America and they will be contacting her. She would be traveling on the Saturnia or the Vulcania. He worries when he does not regularly receive letters from her. Gianni is preparing to come to Italy to see his paralyzed father. Vincenzo cannot wait for his dear wife to come to America and hug everyone. He feels weird writing her what he is feeling. He closes with regards from: Maria, Gianni, Dali, Rossella, Elenuccia, Tommaso, Elena and Giuseppina and Gemma.

Italy -- Emigration and immigration -- History, Italian letters, Italians -- United States -- History -- 20th century
Angelo writes to his grandmother. He is responding to her last letter that was sent on the 7th of February. He assures his grandmother that she will recover from her illness with care and will be able to come to America. He also states that he is still waiting for Antonio to arrive who will be there by the end of the month. He begins again saying that he wrote letters to nonno but hasn't heard back. He is angry about the shipment of maccheroni that hasn't arrived yet from Naples. Domenica has received many compliments on th dress she received.
