Hand drawn same card with letter inside,

To wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.-Somewhat belated. I am afraid but I waited for an opportunity for a trip to Naples to get this. Even in Naples shopping isn’t easy if one wants decent things. The people are plain just too poor to have good thing sand the old tourists shops have had no reason for existence for four years. As far to local taste in accommodation, I think it atrocious.

My Regards to all the Family. Best Love Ian
