A very interesting man I found in the Marquis Alfieri Sostegno, vice-president of the Senate, a man noted for his high character and his writings. He is the founder of the new "School for Political and Social Studies," and gave me much information regarding it. His family is of mediaeval origin, but he is a liberal of the Cavour sort.
Emily Fitzhugh sent me this morning a Seal with a pretty device, in consequence of my saying that I thought it was pleasanter to lean upon one's friends, morally, than to be leant upon by them an oak with ivy clinging to it and "Chiedo sostegno" for the motto. I do not think I shall use it to many people, though.
