Title
May 7, 1944. Letter from Danny Badia to Leona Badia, née De Nardo
Subject
Italian-American, 1944
Description
He has just finished working. He tells her about a dream she had about a dream she had about their apartment in Mineral Wells, just a room but it seemed just like home "because we were together." Camp Joseph T. Robinson is different from Camp Wolters. Not so many people yet because it has just opened up. Danny is a cook and he is the only one actually working at the moment (he has to feed 224 men). They got a lecture about "going into town." The officers told to Danny and the other soldiers to be careful of the women because Little Rock is the 6th highest city in the US for V.D. (veneral diseases).
