Sunday, May 19:
Whitsunday and many visits; arranging the laurels just arrived from Vienna. On top of that Cornelius, Forges, Schäfer, not very pleasant, later Ritter, Nietzsche, Gersdorff, then Countess Krockow; finally, and most charming, Frau von Schleinitz and Countess Dönhoff.
R. in town greeting the singers, much coming and going, but gay spirits. Rain, shortage of carriages.
