De László sends his regrets to Agnes Maud Royden that he cannot take part in the conference on the "Relations of Franciscan Idealism to Art & Learning", which was being held as part of the Seventh Centenary of St. Francis of Assisi's death; he will be in Italy and intends to visit Assisi. He wishes St. Francis' teachings were more widespread "so that the world could be lifted from this terrible materialism in which we now live"
