Letters+Home+Again

Hello Again My Dear Momma,

Well, life in America is not as easy as I thought it would be. I am living in an area called the Mulberry Bend. My address is 94 Mulberry Street. It’s a big building with many apartments in it. There are immigrants from all over around here, but mostly Italian in my building.

I am living in a small apartment with many others. It is very crowded. I don’t have a bed and just sleep on the hard floor. I haven’t been able to find work yet. But, I think that I may be able to get a job cleaning soon. Since it is summer, it is very hot. Sometimes, people sleep on the window sills just to stay cool and get some air at night.

I have learned a little bit of English so I am very happy about that.

Oh, how I miss you and the family. I am going to try very hard to save money so I can come home and be with you. I miss your cooking. I am tired and will write more tomorrow.

With Love,

Marcus
