... It will be impossible for me to answer your questions definitely till I have looked over the ground in Italy a little; but I do not think I shall do any villa south of Rome except Caserta, which, as you doubtless know, is near Naples. Near Rome there will, of course, be the villas at Frascati, the villa d'Este at Tivoli, villa Lante at Viterbo—then there will be others near Florence, Pistofa, &c.—I am going to photograph some villas near Genoa next week. I have already done two, and when I see you I can show them to you and see if you care to go there.

We shall be in Rome till March 15th, if not later, and I hope to see you there. Our address will be Hotel Bristol, Piazza Barberini.

In case we should by any chance not meet there, a line care of Munroe & Co. Paris, will always reach me.

Sincerely yours

Edith Wharton.

(Will you please address your letters to
Mrs. Edward Wharton?

The Hapgoods are already in Rome, but I will give them your message next week.
