I Tatti, Settignano, Florence. - Glad to hear that Julian is enjoying himself so much; he is also having a 'very pleasant time'. Originally encloses some picture postcards, showing the dome of the cathedral at Florence, the "Birth of Venus" [by Botticelli], and an Annunciation; hears from Julian's mother that they have been enjoying their visit to aunt Louise [Hubrecht?] near the seaside and tulips; wonders whether they will have been to Doorn by the time this arrives, since the post here is 'very bad, and there are sometimes railway strikes'. Went twenty miles in a motor-car yesterday through very beautiful countryside to see an old castle. They hear a cuckoo everyday, and sometimes a nightingale; expects Julian will hear both at Doorn.
