Summary
Apologizing that a magazine he sent to him has not been received; saying "In the confusion of my new house, only a few rooms of which have been reclaimed from the wilderness, I may have omitted to do so, & I shall be very penitent if this turns out to be the case. I will look round at once on my return home this afternoon. As I have only had a single habitable sitting room, it ought not to be difficult to find the missing paper. I leave town tomorrow for the summer but "Taormina" shall be my first concern."
