II

(Without date)

Dear Baroness:

I have come to Stra for some days. As soon as I return to town you

will get:

The first circular, which we have sent to all our deputies and

senators;

The second circular, which we dispatched a few days ago.

Baron Kübeck will have to do just as I did if he wants to make a

success of it:

1. In order to form the first nucleus of deputies he must personally

tackle the most active and best-known members, one at a time, and

request their signatures to a declaration by which they concur in the

formation of a Parliamentary Committee.

2. When this first nucleus is formed (thirty or forty are enough) hold

a first meeting and appoint a provisory board.

3. Then the board will send out invitations to all the deputies,

explaining the purposes of the organization, and, above all, the first

purpose—to designate a number of such deputies as are willing to come

to Rome.
