To Daniel MacGhie Cory
Rome. March 25, 1934
Why don’t I feel like going to England again? Partly because I am too old and fat—not at all presentable to English eyes; and partly because my pedestrian and country-inn days are over, and I should be bored and really not as comfortable as at a continental hotel.
