Read the 'Word for Truth by a Seaman,' written by a naval officer of high reputation.
We left Rome on the 4th of June, and travelled by vettura through Orvieto and Chiusi.

Beautiful scenery, interesting pictures and tombs, but a fatiguing journey.

At least, Pen's pony and I were both of us unusually fatigued, and scarcely, at the end of a week, am I myself yet.
I am not as strong since my illness last summer.

We stay here till the early part of July and then remove to Siena, to the villa we had last year; and there Pen keeps tryst with his Abbe and the Latin.

He has made great progress this winter in Latin and much besides, and he isn't going to be a 'wretched little Papist,' as some of our friends precipitately conclude from the fact of his having a priest for a tutor.
