Arnold and Newlin: September 10–14, 1961

A letter from Newlin in Florida to Arnie at the Hotel Michelangelo in Rome, September 10, 1961:

Newlin took Allan, Joel and Andrew to her mother's in Crawfordville, but did not cross paths with her sisters Sheryl or Eloise or their families there; the Uhrigs lived next door to Arnie and Newlin; the Greers lived across the street, opposite to the Uhrigs

A postcard from Arnie in Rome to Newlin in Gainesville, September 11, 1961:

the Forum in Rome, circa 1961

It is odd that Arnie uses the German Rom, instead of Italian Roma;
the reception was probably in the Baths of Diocletian, now part of the Museo Nazionale Romano

A half envelope and a whole letter from Arnie to Newlin, September 14, 1961:

The Musei Capitolini (Capitoline Museums) is a single museum containing
a group of art and archaeological museums in Piazza del Campidoglio, Rome

Arnold and Newlin: Rome, September 1961

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.
