Tuesday, June 30:
R. has his library to arrange in the hall; I, among other things, have to deliver an admonishment to our dear Richter.
Otherwise the usual quiet life. At lunch R. tells us about a curious scene in the Chamber of Deputies in Munich, where the Catholic party people tried to stage a great coup against the government.
Then our usual conversations, natural history, philosophy, history (Heraclius), etc. R. talks about Frederick the Great, after our worthy singer Scaria rather naively asked whether our hero had really been a great general. It also turned out later that the good man did not know Beethoven's Eighth Symphony.
