Dear Mr. Ferrario, Thank you very much for your friendly letter of
10 March. As to my visit in Milano, I shall probably not be able to come there
before the second half of April, and I assume that a postponement until then is
still feasible.
I am exceedingly satisfied with the turn political
events have taken here in Germany. I am also convinced that the new regime
under Hitler will deepen the sympathies which have always existed between
Germany and Italy. Fascism under Mussolini has accomplished admirable results
in your beautiful country, and I have always envied Italy her Duce, silently
hoping that there will come a time when Germany will likewise be presented with
a personality like that. If now, under Hitler, Germany, by restoring order,
even remotely approaches Italy's progress under Mussolini, then together we
shall face happier times. |

With kindest regards,
Yours,
