Roma, 27, '06 Via S. Chiara 42
Hello Ed: O This is a grand country. Feel perficlly at home already. Couldn't get in at the Lazzarists and will therefore live here at the Colligis Francaise via S. Chiara 42. This is a first class place. My room is excellently furnished, carpets & upholstered chairs etc. Meals first class. Monsignor Kennedy received me very kindly, told me to live here. Hub, Hohenlohe & I are a fine trio. Lots of fun. They were glad when I arrived. Send my trunk immediately as Eilgut [Express]. Books with basket as freight. Regards Stumpy.

Nothing but French & Italian spoken here. Will easily learn a little or enough of both languages. Hub met me at the depot. Good bye. Will write again.
