A letter to the editor detailing the existence of a Dante Society in San Francisco Bay. 
"(To  the  Editor  of  THE  DIAL.) 

In  your  issue  for  June  1,  the  article  upon  "  Dante  in 
America "  suggests  the  publication  of  an  interesting 
fact.  About  San  Francisco  Bay  is  a  settlement  of  Italian 
fishermen  whose  condition  is  apparently  without  an  aspir- 
ation other  than  to  have  a  supply  of  the  black  bread  they 
eat  and  the  sour  wine  they  drink ;  yet  these  people  sup- 
port a  society  for  the  study  of  Dante. 

One  wonders  whether  a  similar  organization  could  be 
found  among  English  miners,  for  a  knowledge  of  their 
great  Shakespeare!
