Melinna and Harrison Cady in Venice, 1931.
In the 1930s the Cady’s toured Europe. Here’s an Exerpt from a letter Melinna Cady sent to Harrison’s mother:
“So far I like Paris as a place to live better than any other city…the shops, the museums with the great works of art…The Follies!!! and on and on. Venice is filled with charm & great beauty & romance yet back of it all I could imagine in time one might feel the past tragedy of the place. Every afternoon at 4 Harrison & I started in a gondola and just wandered in & out & around until 8 o’clock. It, no doubt, sounds utterly foolish at my age to be so enthusiastic about everything but, my dear, I am living in a state of thrills…”
