Scope and content
Tonino did not send on Trevelyan's "St. Francis", so Morra only found it on his return home from Rome and Sorrento; it was good to read it on the spot which inspired it, but he hopes his silence was not interpreted as disregard. Discusses it at length and appreciatively; makes a few corrections on spellings of Italian and Latin place names. The Berensons are travelling in northern Italy and seem to be well; looks forward to seeing them at either I Tatti or La Consuma and will take Trevelyan's story to show them. Has had a very good time at Sorrento: saw Paestum, climbed Vesuvius, went to Pompeii and Herculaneum. "Pègaso" 'is dead.' [that is, the journal has folded].
