Arnie always woke up early, and was excited to explore the streets of places he visited. Rome was no exception, so many of these slides were early morning images, others from day-time tours.

A V-mail letter from Arnie's first cousin, Leslie Hastings Wolfe, Jr. (on his mother's side). Sgt. Les Wolfe was a tail-gunner in Italy during World War II. The letter was posted on March 26, 1944, but mailed to Arnie's former North Carolina address and then forwarded up to Yale University, where Arnie received it at the end of April. (Cousin Les died in August 3 of that year on his return to the U.S., when the plane he was taking crashed on takeoff from Miami.)
