Lucioni is eager to discuss literary recommendations White had given him, and in the following letters, Lucioni continues to discuss his impressions various plays and novels he has seen and read since their last correspondence, and how they have affected his studio practice. In his letter from 1927 Lucioni expresses regret at how infrequently they exchange letters.
