The overwhelming welcome, the spontaneous welcome, the welcome that so evidently came from the heart, has been profoundly moving to me, sir.
I am not thinking of particular settlements so much as I am of the general settlement.
I take off hat to the great people of Italy and tell them that my admiration is merged into friendship and affection.
YOU make my heart very warm indeed by a welcome like this.
