To Mrs. Alice E. D. Goudy,
May 3, [1908], from Naples,
Italy
; WCPM
Has just returned from a week in the Apennines. Spent two days in Pompeii
and is enjoying the Pompeiian collection at the Naples Museum, also the beautiful Bay of
Naples. The classical world seems close at hand. Has regained enough Latin to read Tacitus and Suetonius. Remembers seeing a picture
of the bust of Caesar in a textbook when Mr. Goudy was her teacher, and now has seen it at the museum.
Farmers working their fields just as in Virgil's
Georgics. Goes on to Rome next week.
