November 25, 1944. Letter from Leona Badia, née De Nardo(née De Nardo) to Danny Badia

Italian-American, 1944

Leona recounts for Danny about her dad watching the baby so that she could go out shopping looking for pepperoni in the Italian markets to add to her care package to Danny. The Italian grocers were out of it until the following week. She jokes about how her dad changed the baby's diaper and how she hopes Danny will be better at it. She reminds Danny how their relationship is relatable to that of the couple in the comic Gasoline Alley. On a serious note, Leona tells Danny how in love he will be with his child and how he will forget from the moment he sees him that he had not been with him sooner.
