As for Turin, you may go there hereafter, as a traveler, for a month ortwo; but you cannot conveniently reside there as an academician, forreasons which I have formerly communicated to Mr. Harte, and which Mr. Villettes, since his return here, has shown me in a still stronger lightthan he had done by his letters from Turin, of which I sent copies to Mr. Harte, though probably he never received them. After you have left Rome, Florence is one of the places with which youshould be thoroughly acqua...inted. I know that there is a great deal ofgaming there; but, at the same time, there are in every place some peoplewhose fortunes are either too small, or whose understandings are too goodto allow them to play for anything above trifles; and with those peopleyou will associate yourself, if you have not (as I am assured you havenot, in the least) the spirit of gaming in you. Moreover, at suspectedplaces, such as Florence, Turin, and Paris, I shall be more attentive toyour draughts, and such as exceed a proper and handsome expense will notbe answered; for I can easily know whether you game or not without beingtold.
