Dear Isabella,

Since reading your last letter, I have been thinking about how similar the living conditions are in both of our countries. Like Italy, we are also going through an economic crisis. Unemployment is on the rise and there is a decline in agricultural production and trade. Both of our countries have been hit hard by the Treaty of Versailles creating a widespread discontent among the people.
Here also we fear that Communism is spreading and the country might come under Communist influence like Russia. I am equally concerned like you about the growing hatred for democratic principles and preference for totalitarian system and one party rule. There is a lot of political instability in the country right now.
Hoping that conditions will improve in both of our countries. Please do write back to me detailing the latest developments on your side.

Yours faithfully,
Adele
