A) Two page letter, 8vo, on headed paper of the 'Grand hotel de Milan': Sono disfatto dalla fatica! Macché Roma, macché Napoli! [...] Non ho mai visto in vita mia tonto gente intorno a me! mai! [...] Ho replicato lo scoperto e non ho dovuto dire Villa Gloria! Mille e cinquanta versi!!! [...] Salutame tu' moje e li regazzini!' b) Writing on card (cm. 11.5 × 9) dated 'Rome, 9 novembre 1930': seven lines from the 'Atto quinto -scena ultima o forse penultima'.
