Scope and content
Has received the books sent by Trevelyan, and will arrange payment through Nicky [Mariano] when he returns to I Tatti on Monday. Not sure yet of his plans, but will make a point of being at home on the days Trevelyan intends to be in the area with Miss Muntz [?]. Mary [Berenson] is suffering from high occasional fevers, with delirium, produced by an injection cure she is taking once a week. Mrs Wharton came recently, 'making herself rather obnoxious by the moody way' she treats other visitors to I Tatti, though since she does not object to him she was on the whole good company. Is happy Trevelyan is coming to stay. Faulkner is 'very awful and gruesome' but thinks him a 'real writer'.
