Scope and content
I Tatti, Settignano, Florence. - Discusses his lack of fear when in the hands of the Germans, and his alarm at the threat he feels Soviet communism poses to Europe. Doubts whether he will ever travel to England again, but thinks of the Trevelyans often. Message from Nicky Mariano to Bessie written to the side of the letter: she thanks Bessie for praising her diary; several friends have suggested the end needs revising if she is to publish it; describes her feelings of 'bewildered relief....' at the end of the war.
