Sunday, February 2:
R. writes to the King, discussing in his letter the vocation of the German princes. Councilor D. wrote to me that the winds blowing from Hohenschwangau seem more favorable now to our enterprise than previously. In the afternoon our new servants arrive, a man, his wife, and three children, from Berlin.
In the evening we pick up our old Gibbon again after a long break, with great enjoyment (Honorius, death of Stilicho, etc.).
