INSCRIPTION: (On verso)

Gene -- in patio -- Casa Genotta -- just up from swimming -- 1936


O'Neill felt more at ease in the water than on land and found swimming almost as essential as writing to his mental and emotional well-being. Throughout his life he resided near the sea and made swimming part of his daily routine.
