Hi, Janet

This splendid article brought back memories of the fabulous 4-day “Roman City Break” which you arranged for Simon, Pip, Margaret and me a few years ago; what an interesting and inspiring account this piece is – a worthy supplement to the equally fascinating and impressive tour of the more central parts on which your Tour Guide had concentrated

At the risk of carping (certainly not intended!) I would have preferred to see a photograph of the Grieving Angel, rather than some of the repetitive bits about the ages of Keats and Shelley – OK, so they both died “very young” – “in their twenties” – at “26 and 30”, in fact – point taken! – but that didn’t detract at all from the enjoyment or appreciation of your learned and really well-written article.

I don’t know whether you thought it would “lower the tone” but you might have mentioned the probable facts behind the legend that Romulus and Remus were suckled by a Wolf – namely that a “wolf” was the slang name for a prostitute – which, although undoubtedly more mundane than the more imaginative suggestion that they were brought up by a wolf, is probably more accurate, as well as more believable!

I look forward to your next account with eager anticipation, and promise not to carp!

Fondest; regards,

John
