Hoping for good luckat Verona, with much love to all. AflFly., M. D. R. The treasures of St. Marks are inexhaustible and it is un-doubtedly the most wonderful, beautiful and interesting(architecturally and historically) church in the world. Thereare two wonderful twisted translucent alabaster columns saidto be from the Temple of Solomon. The great Pala dOroan altarfront never exposed except at Easter and to strangersfor money. Enameled figures in gold and silver and a mass ofenormous gems of all kinds except diamonds. There must bemillions of money in it. Then there is a great slab of granitefrom Mt. Tabor and the most ancient carved pulpits, coloredmarbles, and it looks more like a Jewish synagogue than GERMANY Sigmaringen, May 2nd, Frank, I hardly know how to begin, having let two days go bywithout writing. We left Venice on the 29th, a beautifulsummer morning, but on our arrival at Verona, when I wentimmediately to the Wagons-Lits I was told that the throughtrain to Munich was full, not a seat to be had, that he had atelegram from Milan to that effect. Well! I said there are other trains and I want to go on oneof them, as I must be in Munich that night. He then informedme there was no other train, only a slow train at 6 p. would get to Munich the next forenoon. Of course Iwanted to cross the Brenner Pass in the daytime so Lauracould see the Alps, so I told the man I intended to go on thattrain and he must find a way; that they should feel obliged totake us when we had telegraphed two days before, &c. I stuck right by him until he said my only chance was thatthere would be some people from the Hotels coming and hecould put on another car. F
