A contemporary gift inscription from Berto or Bento to Silvia dated October 2, 1933. Laid in is a letter from Silvia Hamilton that makes a passing reference to Wolfe. Silvia seemed to know Wolfe as she relays have passed a letter from someone else on to him which he kept, even though it wasn't addressed to him. A curiosity, no doubt, but this letter is a charming one.
