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.
