In molte altre biblioteche ciascun cittadino ha il idritto di portarsi a casa un libro e tenersel per due settimane senza che cio dia luogo ad inconvenienti … Ho paura che da noi di una biblioteca cosi regolata non rimarrebbero in pochi giorni neppure gli scaffali. Del resto di queste impressioni di viaggio, che formano la parte piu utile pel viaggiatore, avremo tempo di parlare a voce. Invece sara meglio che ti paril del viaggio in stesso. Dopo che il prof. Ferraris mi lascio io rimasi ancora una settimana a Chicago a veder l’Espozizione, che e come ti ho detto enorme e degna di esser vista, e a veder un poco la citta, che ha un’area grande come quella di Londra e forse piu, ma che e soltanto parzialmente costruita.
In many other libraries, all citizens have the right to take a book and hold on to it for two weeks--and this doesn’t cause any incidents! I’m afraid that it we had a library with these rules even the shelves wouldn’t remain after a few days. We’ll have time to disucss the rest of my impressions from the trip, by voice (in person?). It will be better if I tell you these things face to face. After Professor Ferraris left me, I stayed an extra week in Chicago to see the Exposition, which I told you was enormous and was worthy of being seen, and to see the city, which is big like London, maybe bigger, but its only partially constructed.
