Aug 2 73 dear Murray Its easy to say send £10 by / return of post - but it would never / reach you, child, - I've got Mr. Webb / to enquire at the Bankers who will / have agents certainly at Florence, & Siena, so by the post after this / you will get it. / I hear Mr. Ruskin is like to / be at Assisi in September / All you tell me about your assn / is very interesting - I shall be glad / of any photographs - you know it / anyway. what I like, or that / you may be sure they will be welcome. / Tell me as soon as the copy / reaches England - and write as / often as you can - some link with / Italy is very pleasant to me. / - if you were to write to Mr. Morris / and enclose the letter to me I / will forward it to him - but / you would have to write by return / for today week is the day for / sending to Iceland. but it / would amaze him to have a / letter from Siena as he sat / on an iceberg. / Were you disappointed with / Rome then? Take an old / man's advice and be silent / on the first impression - it isn't possible not to be / disappointed with ? that / one has made up an image / of something out of hearsays & / one's own invention which has / to be destroyed again - but / if you have my luck a / new Rome will soon construct / itself and you will want to / recall any nasty words you / said in the first spiteful / hours of disappointment / Everyouraffec / EBJ
