| Description | Letter from Amelia Nyasa Laws, 7 Via Venti Settembre, Rome, to her relatives, regarding her attendance at Mrs. Conklin's daughter's christening, a rather staged but pretty affair; Amelia sang the alto part for the Aaronic blessing; fewer visitors though life much as usual; weather dreadful; Uncle likes it, but it tires Aunt and Amelia; the Bentons to dinner, and some remarks about his appearance; Mrs. Benton has 'deplorably American' table manners; she has enjoyed her first lesson with Dr. Spiro. |
