Subject
Italian-American, 1944
Description
Leona writes just before going to sleep so that she will feel like Danny is beside her. She asks him to think of a girl's name and a boy's middle name. She has enclosed a letter she received from Roger Di Paolo too. Roger Di Paolo had written a previous letter that was censored. He wants to communicate his new location - somewhere in New Guinea. He is glad that Dom, Johnny and Danny were not transferred that hell. All they have to offer is coconuts and lizards.
