Postcard from Fiesole

To CC Ballou from Bertha Ballou – Approx. date

The view looking down from my window in Fiesole. It is perfectly lovely although it doesn’t seem so in the card since one cannot see the colors and the shapes of the hills beyond Florence. I miss it so much that I have had to be very “strong-minded” to come back just when the evenings are growing beautiful and mild.
