Tuesday, July 28:

Telegram from our friend Standhartner, saying he is arriving today with his daughter, preparations and reception. Great joy at seeing this dear, loyal, and understanding friend again.

Made music in the evening: third act of Siegfried. To my delight Dr. Standhartner finds that R. is looking very well.
