Scope and content

Postmarked Palermo; addressed to Bob at Hotel Timeo, Taormina. - Quotes Milton as it is his twenty-third birthday; thinks the sonnet ought to be in the "Golden Treasury", as should Milton's earliest poem, the sonnet to the nightingale. A Dutch picture and the Actaeon metope were the two 'very great thing[s]' in the museum here; Segesta was so wonderful he will say nothing about it now; does not expect Grigenti [Agrigentum] to be so good, as it will not be as solitary. Will probably get into Syracuse at 9.43 on Sunday evening.
