[Letter from John Todd Willis, Jr. to his Parents, October 16, 1944]

Letter from John Todd Willis, Jr. to his parents Clara and John T. Willis, Sr. on October 16, 1944, detailing his trip to Rome. He mentions seeing sights such as the Pantheon of Agrippa, the tomb of the unknown soldier, the Colosseum, the Basilica of St. Paul's, the Catacombs, and St. Peter's.

He goes on to ask after a friend who quit A&M to transfer to Baylor University, and mentions getting a stove in his tent and a shot to keep him well.
