Friday, June 25:
Better night for R. He tells me about a letter from Herr Jauner in Vienna, promising him the royalties and 2,000 florins for each work produced personally by him; R. considers this and comes to the conclusion, in view of the present state of the theaters and their attitude toward the singers (who have in their contracts permission to make cuts, etc.), that it is not possible for him to accept.
In the evening Prof. Doepler.
