Excerpt from Letters to an Old Garibaldian

My Dear -,

It is a long time since we met; and I fear these letters may never reach you. But in these violent times I remember with a curious vividness how you brandished a paintbrush about your easel when I was a boy; and how it thrilled me to think that you had so brandished a bayonet against the Teutons - I hope with the same precision and happy results. Round about that period, the very pigments seemed to have some sort of picturesque connection with your national story.
