Laura Davis letters to her husband Lloyd Davis, April-December 1943

But not as my partner in an establishment -- rather as our temporary guest in the home you & I have. Is that not right? I could write pages about the war news that comes to us. You are in the midst of part of that. The radio program was interrupted a little while ago to say the King of Italy had abdicated. The Catholic Church & the King are in close agreement compared to Mussolini & the Church I think. Soon we'll know the effect on the war the abdication will have.

So it goes.
