[[note]] MACBETH [[/note]]

Eleanor and I have been up to Florence and we certainly enjoyed the galleries- I was there in '06 but did not half appreciate the city's treasures and I suppose if I went again there would be new wonders. There were four unfinished slave figures of Michelangelo found in 1909 that were interesting to show just how he tackled his marble- His modeling was all done in the stone.

We have been taking some towns ouside of Rome for our Sunday trip and have seen some of real Italy in that way. Rome sad to relate is becoming a place of street cars and English signs However the ruins and churches always hold their own

Spring is at hand, the best time of year, then it will be warm for a bit but I think we will stay through in Rome.

With remembrance to the men. I am sincerely
