“Luis Subercaseaux Errázuriz (1882–1973) was a Chilean diplomat and athlete. He is claimed to be the first Chilean and Latin American sportsman to have competed in the Olympic Games, at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.”—From Wikipedia. Subercaseaux was stationed in the Chilean Embassy in London from 1940 to 1952. Earlier, he, his wife (Paz), and daughter (Juliana, or Juana) had resided in Italy, where they became close friends of Marguerite Bassiano, Princess Caetani. The Princess (neé Chapin), a friend of T. S. Eliot, and an American by birth, directed a literary magazine called Botteghe Oscure (English, French, Italian), which she had founded with French poet Paul Valéry. Her only son was killed in the last week of the war, and she asked Paz Subercaseaux, who was then in England, to convey the news to Eliot. This is how Eliot became acquainted with the Subercaseaux family..
