Nice. - Is here for a few days on his way to Florence to see a friend; it is 'not an attractive town, but the weather is lovely'. Spent three days in Paris seeing people he got to know two years ago. He will be staying at the Casa Boccaccio with [Goldsworthy] Lowes Dickinson, [Harry] Norton and [Lascelles] Abercrombie: 'quite a houseful', but they will 'all get in somehow'. The Berensons, whose villa [I Tatti] is quite near, are still in America, though returning soon; Robert and his friends will still 'be able to use their library'.

Julian was recovering from his [whooping] cough when Robert left, and 'should be quite strong again by next term'. Robert sends thanks to his mother for her letter; will write to her soon from Italy; she asked if he would like the Times Literary Supplement, and he would be 'very glad to have it' if she can send it; the address will be Casa Boccaccio, Corbignano, Settignano, Florence, Italy. The house 'was Boccaccio's property', though Robert does not think he lived there.
