done another which will, in my new book, be pubgished under the same
title with the ones you have™ as a new # 3 (just preceding "Somewhere
They Are Singing"). If you can add it to the group, I'll be pleased,
If you can't, you can't. Don't bother to return a copy here, We shall.
be home about October 24 -~- address: Redding Road, Fairfield, ‘okn.

No, I didn't know anything, about your being kicked out of
Italy. For God-s sake! Couldn t whatever it was be fixed up?

of Dante not to be permitted into Italy.

All the best to you and household,
