[1930]

Dear Ezra:

I have at last understood what you meant by Z's.
I havew ritten seven ages of translation already:
it is not speed at all but you must be patient and
indulgent with me, forI cannot write more than a page
a day, so that itwill take me about a mnnth to
finish thework. You see I am free from tremor two
or three hours but then, in the same time, I am com-
pletely away to the stupefying influence of the
drugSo I must fish for an hour in which to sconolamin
's effet is almost over andthe tremorhas not yet
subentrated.

I havebeen very busy with a translation of
an italian classic of the smile: BETROLDO BERTODDINO
e CACASENNO, but mR, Titusnforwhom I wrote dd not
accept it finding it not clever enough.

I trnlate also your poems outof X's article
am I doing wrong?

Thank you forgetting methosethree hundred
lire: I was utterly in need of money and they came
like manna del cielo.

Also many thanksx for your usual cheek.

I wrote to the lady in order to thank her ..
Emanuel
