Wednesday, July 14:
Richard is now rather worn out, after all. The company is enriched by Herr Scaria. In the evening the “Prayer” from Lohengrin and the duet (Elsa and Ortrud), magnificent. I reply to Hans late in the evening.

Overview
Richard is growing exhausted, though the company benefits from Herr Scaria's presence. The evening rehearsal of the "Prayer" from Lohengrin and the Elsa-Ortrud duet goes magnificently, and she answers Hans later that night.
