I'm glad that I could find them for you. If I see any more which look interesting, I shall send them to you also. Yes, I have seen many very interesting things here, but I'm afraid that many of the things which you saw at Rome will be either destroyed or removed from there before I will have a chance to see them." "I was delighted to receive your letter. It certainly contains a lot of news. I have had several letters from Mary Elizabeth. She seems to be improving. I still remain fairly busy most of the time trying to see are things that I possibly can. Vesuvius is really beautiful at the present time. I hope you remain well. Affectionately, Mary" While the Lieutenant writes about Rome, the APO signifies that she should be in England.
