Today at the black market, a meeting place for fellow townsmen from all over Munich, I ran into Achille Verrengia and Stefano Torrico. They told me they knew for a fact that Fortunato from San Donato, who was with Achille, had reached his home; he was sent back to Italy on June 11th because he was ill. I am certain he went to see my wife to give her news of me, I begged him to and he said he would, without a doubt. Lucky him! I too hope to be lucky enough to embrace my darling Carmosina and my dear children. It would be such a happy day for me! Will it ever come?!
