Scope and content
Venice is primarily a resort compared to Florence, though they admire the Donatello John the Baptist in the [Basilica dei Frari]; tourists are still there but it is nothing like the 'frenzied assault' in Venice; it is the first anniversary of his first encounter with Frances [Whyte]. Continues on 4 July, recounts what he has seen: the chapel at San Lorenzo, the Medici Chapel, the Academy of Fine Arts, where he particularly admires the David; describes getting left behind by his train with Frances on it with his tickets.
