Getty writes to his “Dearest Mama,” in full: “Just a line to let yo know I am thinking about you. I have been in Italy about a week, visiting Como, Milan, Genoa, now I am in Viareggio. Papa and you and I passed through Viareggio in 1927 on our way between Naples and Paris. The beach here is wonderful and I am enjoying the swimming & sailing very much. After a few days here I expect to motor to Naples and then go by boat to Merseilles & then drive to Paris. I expect to leave for home about the end of September. I would like to be in New York about Oct. 1st. I miss you very much and often think of the lovely trip in Italy we had in 1927.” In fine condition, with scattered light surface creasing.
