Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of October 1, 1874

Overview

Boni begins school, Richard finally completes his substantial letter to the King, and then returns at once to his own work. I spend much of the day trying to manage another round of friction over Hoffmann and the Bruckners, while the children go out and the evening closes with our usual reading.

Thursday, October 1:

Start of school for Boni. Worked with Lusch. R. finishes his letter of seven full sheets to the King; then starts again on his work. I have the task of writing to Herr Hoffmann and the brothers Bruckner; it seems the latter do not wish to work with the former, the former wants money from the management committee, which has none to give, etc.

In the afternoon went for a walk with the children. In the evening Anabasis.
