The letter excerpt:
... now the theatre in the drawing room is just over. Duse acted in Locandaria. I am quite thrilled — she is wonderful, so sympathetic that one finds her lovely, what an impression in face and voice and such a soft tone. It was a real treat seeing her, I understood almost all, tho' they spoke so fearfully fast, so don't laugh at the owl with her Italian, you beasty.
