Dear Sir:
Referring to our conversation of this morning, I have to say that my experience of many years in Italy and southern France, where the native wines form a regular part of the repasts of the inhabitants, is that drunkenness in these countries is of most rare occurrence. The use of such wines would seem to fill the need felt by many for a light stimulating, or fortifying, beverage , and not to lead to a craving for alcohol or to other baneful extremes . Here in Sicily , while the people no doubt have their faults, it is a pleasure to witness their general temperate habits. Even the usual place where drinks are publicly sold is most often a pasticceria, cake-shop, or a pleasant cafe, which the most respectable persons , including ladies and children, may freely enter . There are no screens part Tip there is no concealment of the interior or the inmates, for nothing takes place there requiring concealment. The drinking saloon in an offensive sense can hardly to be said to exist at all.
