Dear Sis,
A few lines to let you know that I am still well and hoping that you are all the same. Tell Helen that I got her letter and was very pleased to hear from her.
I am sending a picture that I had taken in Rome and a smaller one that was taken just outside of our billets. I had a swell seven days leave in Rome and went to see St. Peter’s Cathedral on Sunday morning. It is really marvelous and you cannot describe it in words. A person has to see it to know what it is really like. Although Rome is a very old city, I saw more modern buildings there than I have seen in all the rest of Italy.
I had a letter from Jennie the other day and one from Jean Ball today, with her picture. Well, I can’t think of any more right now so will close for tonight and try and write soon again, and will be watching for your letters. Be seeing you before next Xmas.
Love, Allan
