To George Sturgis
Hotel Bristol
Rome. Feb. 8, 1931
My young friend Daniel Cory is now here, and goes to lunch with me every day, and we have philosophical and literary talks (mainly, giggling like school-girls) at other times also. He is trying to recover from a serious weakness of the bowels, and hard work is forbidden.
