Abstract

Pietro Centofanti writes to Mary Massullo while he is camping in the woods at Camp Claiborne. He tells her that he will be staying in the woods until they are transferred to Europe. Pietro told Mary that he will be sick when he travels to Europe. He also told her that he will receive his naturalization papers soon and officially become a citizen of the United States. Centofanti also told Massullo that he is happy that she is going back to school in the fall and to do her best with her schoolwork. This letter was written on stationary that described the steel industry in Louisiana, along with the immortal "Evangeline." This letter is part of documents from the Centofanti family. This collection includes correspondence during the World War from 1939 to 1945 and other family history records. This written correspondence discussed life as a soldier and the city of Youngstown during the 1940s.
