Camping at the front of the Pyramids of Gizah Cairo (Egypt) My dear Julia

Your dear letter (which has no date!) came safely and I beg you to kindly excuse the long delay which has occurred before my acknowledging it and thanking you for it.

Please accept these tardy thanks, dear child, for the dear letters, which are most sincere if belated!

I was so glad to get news of you and also to read the program which you were so good as to send me for which also please accept my thanks.

We are now at the end of our wanderings through the world as on the 10th instant we will set our faces homeward visiting, on the way, my son Giovanni in Rome, and Teresita in Milan.

On or about the 15th of next month we hope to be sitting down, once more at 28 Kürfursten Damm. How perfectly delighted we all will be to be home again, I need hardly tell you. We left home on the 13th of October 1909 and return in May 1911 – A year and eight months absence!

Our trip through Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, was most interesting and enjoyable and we return home with a most pleasant remembrance of the countries which we have seen and the charming people which we have met.

The summer, we intent to spend quietly at home. It will be such a refreshing feeling not to be in strange hotels for a while. I intend to do some teaching through the summer months –(for I hope the heat will not get too unbearable and drive us out of Berlin)—at home, and I look forward with real pleasure to taking up my teaching again. I always enjoy it.

When are you coming over to Berlin? I hope to see you there soon.

My “piano school” is still a plan; but, I hope to realize it some day.

Mr. Tagliapietra, Eugenia and Hertha send you their kindest greetings and with my dear love,

I remain yours affectionately Teresa Carreño Tagliapietra
