In Rome two weeks ago, Young Corbett told me of his adventure in the Campagna with his friend Martin when two terrific dogs came for them & their peasant guide put up a prayer to the Virgin & she vouchsafed a miracle wh saved them — certainly the most peculiar miracle ever heard of — but it won’t bear print [NB 31 TS 41].
