Naples, January 12, 1945<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elisa, darling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have received magnificent letters from you all, and as I said to Tania, in the long letters it\u2019s true that I\u2019m inclined to provoke to also receive a reprimand. So then I won\u2019t go during the war, not even every six months, precisely, if you all think it\u2019s absurd. But, darling, don\u2019t think I like you because I\u2019m far away and add stuff. It\u2019s just that when we\u2019re together we don\u2019t write letters and it seems that certain things can only be said in writing. You\u2019re right, with the idea of the provisional nothing can be done. And that\u2019s why letters are good for me, by giving me a lesson. Don\u2019t tell me you don\u2019t wish to have ascendancy over me, which is silly, my dear. And speaking of silly, here\u2019s another one coming from the same source, which is you: you say that although it seems incredible, you\u2019ve also chased mirages. How stupid you are! If there is somebody who demonstrates this, it\u2019s you! And you not only have chased, but chase \u2013 which counts as not having changed and being true. This girl even raises little birds in the bathroom, a place where in general only towels hang! I\u2019d like to know how they\u2019re fed. One of the magnificent things about this is that it\u2019s great to have birds but sometimes the cage is an issue: in your case the birds own you and you all live as equals, one complains about the other, and you may even stop talking to each other for a few hours. You have explained little about them; have you seen them yet? How many are there? Do they go out sometimes? Do they provide for their own food or does the contract they signed include room and board? And speaking of room and board, you also need to eat, not only the birds. Don\u2019t forget to tell me where you eat lunch and dinner.                  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll see how I\u2019m going to get better and live a nice life. But I\u2019m going to Rio, I\u2019m not sure when, after the war is over, one day and in good conditions. I\u2019d like to help here a little, but it\u2019s impossible. To ask people for money for other people is really difficult because whom would I ask? Matarazzo? He would begin by saying that he has household demands, etc. He\u2019s not in need, but everyone needs a little or more. Because I\u2019ve already offered to do something, I\u2019m now working on typescripts with Colonel Julio de Moraes. I go there every morning and save humanity by copying some things in beautiful typewriting. I also intend to visit the wounded. We help in person and in each case as well as we can and that\u2019s nothing. The cases here are countless and every family has a story to tell. It\u2019s true that the war is blamed for many things that have always existed here. Prostitution, for example, has always been a big livelihood here. They tell us that now the boys on the street offer their sisters, the husband who says there\u2019s a very beautiful girl and in the end one finds out it\u2019s his wife, etc.; but everyone says it\u2019s always been like this. What happens here is that the Neapolitan people are the most shameless in the world. Italians say that Naples is the shame of Italy. They steal as much as they can, and I\u2019m not the one pointing the finger. Actually, when I was in Lisbon which is not at war, I was shocked. You can\u2019t take one step without someone asking for spare change. And they told me prostitution there is terribly abundant, and begins at the age of 13-14 years old. The war is maybe good in the sense of calling attention to certain problems. Maybe they\u2019ll include them in the resolution of other specifically war-related problems.          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Rome it\u2019s snowing a little; I haven\u2019t seen it. But here Vesuvius (Vesuvius \u2013 the only active volcano on the European continent, situated above the Gulf of Naples, on the west coast of Italy. Its summit, although variable, rises to a height of 1,277 meters) is covered and yesterday and today there were a few flurries here. I didn\u2019t see it, but Maury left this morning and brought back, wrapped in a piece of paper (!) a few pieces of snow that seemed like ice, certainly once icy, already melting, and not very white. Tomorrow morning we\u2019re going to a neighborhood where there may be snow. He said that in the neighborhood where he was today there was an inch or two of snow on the ground (tell Tania that). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for singing lessons, I\u2019ll look into it. As for interesting courses, ever since I arrived I\u2019ve tried to get some information but you know how these courses are, most of them terribly didactic, causing suffering and creating obligations instead of being really interesting and giving pleasure. But I\u2019m still more or less looking. And also looking for a radio to rent, if possible, since it\u2019s so hard to find one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just now remembered something funny. A friend of ours in Algeria thought the girl from the restaurant was very cute and asked her if she wanted to go to the movies with him. She answered somewhat offended and very dignified: Pas moi, je suis vierge!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t that so funny? He said he felt like answering: C\u2019est pas ma faute\u2026

– All is well and I like you all very much. Be happy, darling, without fail. And don\u2019t drink cold water. Hugs from your <\/p>\n\n\n\n
