World War II and postwar letters of Edward G. Scagliotta, 1945-1946.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/230724312

The collection consists primarily of 202 letters written by and to Edward G. Scagliotta between June 1945 and October 1946. The bulk of the letters are written by Edward to his girlfriend, Louise Maimone and to his parents, Sam and Anne Scagliotta. The letters to Louise focus on Edward's daily military routine and reminiscences of liberties spent with her. The letters to his parents focus on daily navy life, but also include numerous references to Edward's younger brother as well as constant reassurances that his mother need not worry. The collection also contains one Christmas card and an un-mailed postcard. Attached to two of the letters are photocopies of clippings from the USS Huntington's ship's newspaper.
