Content Description

They are delayed due to mosquito bites to his leg. He is glad that Tom is to be married, but concerned that his income will be so meagre. Even in Italy, an out of the way place where he knows the language and they are limited to one servant, they need 8 or 9 francs a day. He discusses the reality of Thomas's upcoming nuptials. They can't wait to return to Rome, and so he can get back to work on his big picture, The Procession.
