The Duke ofAscoli told me he would arrange it when he saw usin Rome. The Duchess is a beautiful woman, muchbeloved here in Italy. You remember she is a sisterof Queen Amelie of Portugal and the[ 459 ] ITALIAN CASTLES Infanta Louisa of Spain.

Much love to all at home. T. [460. H. R. H. COUNT OFTURIN H. R. H. DUKE OFTHE ABRUZZI
