66 Due Macelli, Rome - Gives information on hotels in Rome for Lady Frazer for next year; hotel keepers cannot foresee what the prices will be; describes the Hotel Élysée, Eden Hotel, and Hotel d'Angleterre; they have many worries, and Adolfo is in a nervous depression, but Paolo is a great comfort; hopes the cure has worked, thank Jean for his letter.

66 Due Macelli [on mourning stationery] - Thanks her for the clipping from 'The Times' which she translated and sent to the editor, it will be helpful for press notices, asks if she will add some information on the Order of Merit; congratulates Frazer, but confesses 'it seems to me very much like giving a decoration to a mountain'; is sorry it has taken so long for the 'Il Ramo d'Oro' to come out; [Alberto] Stock says it will be the middle of the month but she doesn't believe it.
