Letter from the town council in Reichenhall, they claim to have heard that agreement could not be reached with Bayreuth and they offer their little nest instead, and send a photograph on which is indicated with a little German flag the site they want to give! — In the afternoon Christmas shopping; but first made sure of my letter! Heavenly letter!! R. is satisfied with Duffl. and is sitting for Lenbach. I wander about with pride, happiness, longing, and humility in my heart. Oh, our love! . . .
