To Richard Colton Lyon
Via Santo Stefano Rotondo, 6
Rome. November 29, 1951
I have been rather ill with a complication of my catarrh, but am being well nursed, and entertained three evenings in the week by Cory, who is settled in Rome for the winter. I find him more interested than formerly on good subjects, like the origin of Christianity and history in general, so that our conversations need not revert always to the ways of my old friend Strong, whose secretary or pupil he used to be also.
