Metelliano. - Has been in Rome: Countess Papafava, mother of Margherita Bracci was dangerously ill, so he stayed at the American Academy with [John] Walker and spent his days with the Braccis; hears now that they are all back in Montepulciano and she is convalescing well. Will not have his usual time at La Consuma this year. Hears good news of B.B. [Berenson] and Trevelyan may hear from Mary or those around her, though perhaps not since she is 'at the Mud House' [the home of her daughter]; asks for news if he sees her. Very anxious about Spain, especially as he has a friend from Madrid who may well be separated from his family there. Would be very glad to read Forster's book ["Abinger Harvest"?]; hopes Trevelyan will return to Italy in the winter.

Thanks Trevelyan for the long letter and the Goethe and Apollonius, which he hopes to be able to return in person when Trevelyan comes to Italy. Is soon going to stay with the Papafavas near Padua. Morra seems quite pleased with his journey in Spain. Does not know when the B.B.s [Berensons] plan to return to I Tatti. s read [?] Crendly's notes in "Life and Letters" and found them good but 'somehow rather childish'. His Baudelaire article is finished; does not know when it will be published.
