Grand Hotel D'angleterre et Belle Venise Jean Gazzi & Frere1
Corfu, March 21, 1913
Dear Professor,
More than half of my stay in Corfu is over, and I think I can affirm from now on that I can successfully take home a quite considerable reinvigoration as well as the conviction that my nightly sleep disturbances will have to be ameliorated by an intervention on the turbinate bones of my nose.
I was naturally much more receptive to the beauties of the island on the days which followed nights on which I slept well. I thought of you countless times and wished I could have enjoyed, in an accustomed manner by your side, the beauties, which reminded me in part of the morning in Selinunt.2
The excavated Gorgon3 is great; it should take its place beside the frieze of Palermo.4 Dörpfeld,5 the German archaeologist from Athens, is living in our hotel.
