Specialist Notes
FIRING PUCCINI ANTI-TRADE UNION, beautiful and intense letter. The unattested linguistic use of 'cartolinare' in the sense of "sending a postcard" is singular.
"Dear Tonino, I'm going to Paris for seven or eight days. I've made up my mind. My house is in disarray here with dyers paper workers, parquet workers, paint workers. It's a real Babylon and I'm fleeing and running away even if the strike that broke out yesterday - good world! Or the islands of our sea because they don't populate them with these enemies of order or because a law doesn't arise that prohibit the work rooms, hearths of any irregularity and arrogance? Dog government! I think I will go to the Hotel Splendid - Avenue Carnot - I will send you a postcard from there. Best regards and see you at the end of the month, Giacomo, 10 June 914"
