Title
August 8, 1943. Letter from Danny Badia to Leona Badia, née De Nardo
Subject
Italian-American, 1943
Description
Danny opens the letter as he customarily does, "My darling wife", even though they are not yet married. He suggests a GI wedding like the one he saw the day before and encourages Leona that if she comes to visit him that they will get married on site because only wives are allowed to stay in the guest house. He announces that the training will be 17 weeks so he will not be home before November and that he has lost weight and his hair is falling out. He does not want to send a photo to his mother so as not to worry her.
