Scope and content

Palace Hotel, Rome. - Their room on the fifth floor of this new hotel is ideal; describes the view in detail. They are 'living a Roman life' rather than sightseeing with effort. Is reading [Cicero's] "De Natura Deorum" after having finished the "Tusculan Disputations", and the first five books of Martial. The 'humbler Americans', mostly women, are 'a very decent sort of people'; dined at their embassy on 'roast turkey and cranberry sauce' for Thanksgiving Day. Very good for Caroline to be able to 'sketch and enjoy herself'. Hopes Elizabeth is enjoying having finished 'home making'; also that Robert will write more frequently, as he is rather hurt by this. The 'English news is rather distracting', but there cannot be an election till the New Year.
