Diary Entry of December 28, 1872
R. sleeps better, though he remains gloomy, and I write to Marie M. while the weather stays fine enough for an afternoon walk with Lusch. The day is quiet and restorative, with little happening beyond shared air and scenery. In the evening we delight in Grimm’s writings on German mythology and language, which give us both genuine pleasure.
Saturday, December 28:
R. had a much better night, but he is still in a sad and despondent mood. I write to Marie M. In the afternoon a walk with Lusch and R.; the weather is fine.
In the evening we read J. Grimm’s introduction to his German Mythology, the dedication of his German Grammar to Savigny, Teutons and Germans, all with the greatest delight.
