Part of an Autograph Letter Signed, 4 pages 4to, Viareggio, 21 February no year. Missing the first page(s) and therefore the recipient's identification, dwelling dramatically on philosophical questions.

'... How can you occupy yourself about Man a thousand years hence? This little earth will be probably grown cold and uninhabitable. Here - & there - one in a million there is a beautiful mind - a lovely life but - the human majority is worth very little.'
