Penini has adorned our terrace with two tricolour flags, the Italian tricolour and the French.

May God bless you, dear friend.

Speak again for Italy.

If you could see with what _eyes_ the Italian speaks of the 'English.' Our love to you, Mr.and Mrs.Ruskin--if we may--because we must.

Write to us, do.
Ever affectionately yours, R.B.and E.B.B.
