Scope and content
Cortona. - Bearing in mind Trevelyan's readiness to help Italians in hardship because of their views, Morra had thought that he would be able to help a friend of some friends who is in real difficulty in Italy. However, this man has been very ill all spring and summer and therefore cannot travel, but is in an even more desperate state; the only work he is fit to do is literary or journalistic, the former will not pay and he is forbidden the latter. The 'B.B.s' seem happy at Constantinople, judging by a postcard from Nicky [Mariano]. Asks Trevelyan's opinion of Prince Mirsky's work, and for a recommendation of a good book on Russian literatue; also asks whether the [Kenneth] Clarks are still in London.
