Subject

Italian-American, 1944

Description

Danny thanks his wife for the salami that she sent. He made the colonel a sandwich. He is happy to have become an uncle, since Bambina had a baby boy. However, he is blue that he may not be present when his own child is born, although he really does not want Leona to be worried. He admits that the war is just a little stronger than he is. He also asks his wife to send him $5-10 because he will be shipping out before payday.
