Friday, October 15:
Intimate breakfast hour tinged with the melancholy of impending departure. R. accompanies me to the station at 1 o'clock; I am taking Fidi with me to Altenburg.
His 'Farewell, my dear wife,' concealing so much hidden pain, brings to my mind all the things which influenced me and decided the direction of my life.
At 7 in the evening, with the orthopedic specialist, Frau Dr. Herz, in Altenburg; shortly afterward arrival of the children from the boarding school: laughter and tears!
