Dezi Martinelli

Dear Dezi,

Learning about the circumstances of your father’s death caused me tremendous grief, and my offering is small, but it’s all I have: I am sorry.

I am enclosing one of the letters your father wrote to me from prison. I was moved by this letter, his articulation of how much he loved you and your brother. If you’d like the others, I’ll send them as well.

Would you be willing to send me the address of your mother in Italy? I’d like to write to her, and soon.

Yours ever,

Sybil Van Antwerp
