Casa Boccaccio, Settignano, Firenze, Italy. - Is 'comfortably settled in lodgings two minutes away from the Casa Boccaccio, where the Waterfields live', and where he has all his meals. The weather is 'very fine, bright and fairly warm'; though the last couple of days have been cloudy there has been no rain. Has been able to start work already, and has 'written a great deal'. Gave his father's message to the Berensons, who ask to be remembered kindly to him. Sees 'a good deal of [Bernard] Berenson, whose villa is just on the other side of the valley'.

Bessie has sent him 'two very cheerful letters from Julian', showing he is 'settling down quite happily at his new school [Bedales]'. Bessie will be going to London again this week; expects she will soon arrange to visit his parents. Asks his father to let his mother know that she need not send him the Times Literary Supplement here, as the Waterfields take it; when he returns home he will be 'very glad to have it again'. Will write to her soon. Sends love to his parents, and to Aunt Annie if she is with them.
