My Dearest One.					Italy April 3/44
	Hello Sweet & how is my best girl to-night?
As for myself I am fine. I just got back from 
rest camp to-day. Had very nice time and a
good rest. I really dident need the rest as far
as work goes. I havent had a great deal to-do lately.
I wrote you a couple of V-mail while I was gone
but thought since I got three letters when I
came back, and the mail orderley brought me
two letters and your very lovely easter cards 
that I would just write a air mail. Honey I am
glad you were able to help your Dad pay for
the place. And if he has trouble making the 
rest of the payments you go ahead & take care
of them. Also am glad you helped Dad & Mother
Holt with the boxes & stuff. I wrote you a few 
days ago about them, so you can let me know
what you've found out. We are sure having some pretty
weather, the nights a still pretty cool but the days
are nice & warm. Well sweet I visited the ruins
of Pompei while I was on pass. Little did I even 
think when I read about it in history that I 
would some day see them. Honey you asked me
if I could see Mt Vesuvies, no we can't see it from 
where we are, but I did get to see it while it
was still spouting flame & Lava. The other day
