Scope and content

Bologna. - They go on to Florence on Tuesday, and hope to see Bob on Wednesday and hear more about Elizabeth. Feels anxious about Elizabeth's cousin Marie: it would be 'very trying' if she were ill or much upset 'by the shock and the long journey'; fears her arrival will have put off Elizabeth's choosing of a new nurse [for Julian]. Their journey is going well; she has been tired but is now much better, and is enjoying being in Italy again; Bologna is a 'fine town with much to see'. They stopped at Padua for a night on the way, think of staying a week at Florence then going on to Rome. Asks if Elizabeth might go to the sea, which would be a 'nice rest'. George's book of essays ["Clio, A Muse and Other Essays "] is very amusing. There is also a great deal to read in the newspapers and Caroline's 'Man[cheste]r Guardian' "follows" her. Sir George sends his love; they wish they could find Elizabeth in Florence as well as Robert. The weather is now good, after they had rain at Lausanne and over the Alps. Sir George has found their names in an old visitors' book: signed during their 'wedding tour' in October 1869.
