Thank you so much for mentioning Gente on your blog! I am in the process of reading through it all now. I love blogs!
If you like, why not add it to your signature?
#64: Re: Cache of letters Author: tjbrn, Location: North CarolinaPosted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:58 pm ---- I didn't add the link because the blog isn't specifically about genealogy. I tend to drift a bit --one of the consequences of a degree in philosophy.
Tom
#65: Re: Cache of letters Author: nuccia, Location: Toronto, Ontario, CanadaPosted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 9:10 pm ---- I still think it rocks. I have been reading it all night. Besides it doesn't have to refer to genealogy..its YOUR blog!
And for the record..I have been drifting for years! Still am.

I agree Livio...
Tom - help! the last ones you sent we were able to enlarge with a 'click', but these won't increase in size.
I don't have a system to make them larger until I can re-load my Office 2003 (Word) programme later this month. Could you perhaps recopy them?
OR
does someone else have a system/programme that they can use and do it for us?????? PLEASE?
#71: Re: Cache of letters Author: tjbrn, Location: North CarolinaPosted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 7:45 am ---- OK

Amato mio caro fratello Ignazio al momento no ho nulla da dirti, solo mi resta di abbracciarti forte al mio cuore e stringerti forte le mani, il tuo fratello Tano che ti pensa sempre e sempre ti penserà per tutta la vita e mai potrà dimenticarti. Carissimo fratello nulla da dirti solo ti mando i miei più cari e sinceri saluti e baci e quelli dei miei figli, così come li mandiamo ai tuoi figli; tanti saluti da tua cognata Carmela e dal suo sposo, i suoi figli ti baciano le mani e le baciano anche a tua suocera e ci domandiamo la xxx. Noi tutti salutiamo tua suocera e tutta la cara famiglia ...
#74: Re: Cache of letters Author: Carole, Location: Valtellina - Near Lake ComoPosted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 11:16 am ---- Thank you so much Luca....
Right here is Page 1 and the translation of Page 2 from Luca's transcription. Tom I hope this is OK!
Page 1.
Belmonte Mezzagno. 2nd August 1932
My dearest brother,
Just a few days late I reply to your dear letter which gave me much pleasure to hear that your health is the best, together with your wife and your beloved children.
My dearest brother I am sorry that I write to you with a few days of delay but I have been in xxxxxxxx with my health, but now thanks to our good God I am really well, as is my wife and my dear children.
Page 2.
My loving brother Ignazio at the moment I have nothing to tell you, it only remains for me to give you a strong embrace to my heart and to hold your hands tightly, your brother Tano who thinks of you always and who you think of always for a lifetime and who cannot be forgotten. Dearest brother nothing to tell you only I send you my most dear wishes and kisses and those of my children, as we send to your children; many wishes from your sister-in-law Carmela and from her husband, her children kiss your hands and they kiss.....
