Diary Entry of February 23, 1873
The day is marked by unease over Boni’s fragile condition and the emotional weight it brings to the household. Family life continues around these worries, with lunch, letters tied to R.’s birthday, and the children present throughout the day. The evening is devoted to the Fancha tantra, offering a quiet intellectual refuge from domestic strain.
Sunday, February 23:
Boni gets up, but looks so pitiful that my heart remains heavy. All of the children are with me throughout the day. Family lunch; R. is not well. I write several letters in connection with his birthday.
In the evening, continue with the Pancha tantra.
