Scope and content
Pension Palumbo, Ravello (Salerno). Addressed to Trevelyan at Roundhurst, Haslemere; forwarded on to him at Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Thanks Trevelyan for his letter, the first to reach them at Ravello. The Frys had a near escape from carbon monoxide poisoning on the anniversary of their wedding from a leaky stove in their room; this should not deter Trevelyan from coming. They have taken a studio in the village and are working. Fry has read one of Virgil's "Eclogues" in Latin and is trying Petrarch's sonnets in Italian, which he is finding very hard and may get lessons. Likes "Archilochus" very much: says Trevelyan's first ideas are always better than his second thoughts; makes some detailed comments. Asks how his painting looks in the N.E.A.C. exhibition. Is reading Ovid.
