LLOYD TRIESTINO P^fo "Ausonia"

June 2nd 1935

Dear John, I ought to be home by the
time this reaches you - but with some holiday
leisure still available, I feel I must write &
tell you how your "Oliver Cromwell" has
kept me absorbed during this voyage. In
the rush of London I never could get it
read, but slipping past the Greek Islands &
up an oily-smooth Adriatic I have been
able to, & oh! I have enjoyed it.

I don't know how you manage to write
with that double standpoint of the complete
contemporary & the later seer. I can
almost see you yourself moving among
those Cromwellian parliamentarians so
