Transcript

• Enclosure – Postcard to RG from David Graves Robert Graves, Esquire, 31, Alma Square, North Way8 LONDON INGLETERRA (?) Dear R & L, Am in Florence– been here 3 days & Paris 3 days. Going to Venice in 3 days. So far have had marvellous time; Italy more enjoyable than France. Lovely people; & amiable too. French & nondescript. Horrid ride round in Paris but Concorde, Tuileries etc up to expectation. Love wide boulevards & trees (now out) & fountains. Stayed in Latin quarter by Pont Neuf. Went through bed, but didn't matter. Called on Fayard & Reeves. Fayard was away, Reeves in Nice but rather uninteresting. Called on Bottrall in Fiesole. Pleasant and amusing. Nicest country I've ever been in. My partner has come across 7 people up at Oxford with him, 6 at C. Church, all except 2 wandering about by themselves. Have not been round galleries – spend most of time walking round city & looking at it from various hills. People v. poor, but clean, healthy & beautiful. No slums in the English sense. Returning in a week or two. Love. David. Post Script Shall be returning to Florence in
