Tuesday, October 21:
Hailstorms and cold, house inspection, still full of annoyances.
In the afternoon, arrival of Senator Petersen and daughter, pleasant memories of Hamburg, the Senator an outstanding person, very individual, in character he reminds me a little of Sulzer, however different in appearance.
He observed some encouraging signs in South Germany: the German Emperor’s preacher (Frommel) listened to in Gastein by the whole Catholic population and much respected. A peasant in Lower Austria said, “If only we had a minister of culture like Falk!” etc.
