Hull has arrived thus far after having inspected Paris from the Tuilleries to the Mobille, hob-nobbed with the swells at Nice, steered clear of Monte Carlo, shaken hands with Colombo at Geneva, toiled up the leaning tower at Pisa, interviewed the Pope, saw the beautiful bay of Naples and viewed the burning crater of Vesuvius, descended into the depths of Herculaneum and Pompeli, traversed the galleries of the Pitti Palace in Florence, eaten in the Arcade at Milan, visited the "Isola Bella" and the Borromeo Palace and saw the body of old St. Borromeo himself, ascended the Alps on a mulem wandered through any number of Palaces about the Lakes, did not see Romeo and Juliet at Verona and whipped an Italian who wanted to shut him up in the garden of Theodoric the Great. After all this Germany and it seems like coming from a grave yard into the land of the living where an honest intelligent people are living in the future rather than the past. Dr. John Joseph Ignaz von Dollinger who is unreconciled to the Vatican and is pretty old and will not accompliar much. Dollinger inquiered after Henry and seemed pleased when Hull told him what Henry has done for human progress in the way of children. Munich is a dear old city and the people all happy and prosperous. In fact Hull has seen no imperished, impoverished and descontented people since he left his own country; where people think others miserable because so many of them are in that condition. The modern paintings of Munich he considers the best in Europe. In Venice they have the largest pictures of the muster; in Florence the most and in Rome the best. Hull is surprised to find here more enterprise more building than any other city and the finest built city, except perhaps Paris. People rather better dressed than in Paris. From here he goes to Desden and Berlin and then homeward via Paris, England, Scotland and Ireland. This way he of little interest to Henry who has been over this ground, except to know that all are well. In Rome, all spoke very highly of Father Ernest Van Dyke. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
