December 17, 1903 Thursday

December 17 Thursday – At the Villa Reale di Quarto near Florence Sam wrote to Francis H. Skrine.

It is a charming young lady. She brought the book, & I have dipped into it with satisfaction—here I only dip & sip, for I am at work, these days, on a steady long job. We are beginning to like it here; we are housed, but not quite homed yet. But we are a long journey from town, & I like that. The daughters pay the visits & I stay at home.

Mrs. Clemens is not prospering as we could wish [MTP].
