Friday, March 3:
Made my devotions to Cano’s Saint Francis in the Museum of Applied Arts; then to Marie Donhoff and Marie Hohenlohe. After that a very nice dinner at Herr Jauner’s.
Departure at eight o’clock. The chorus was again at the station; the “Wach’ auf” chorus, wonderfully sung by them in the waiting room, leaves a very deep impression. The high room, dimly lit, this crowd of poor people suddenly bursting into sublime song, leaves behind a deep impression and a transfigured image.
Today R. spoke to Baron Erlanger about the advance; since the latter did not appear disinclined, R. cabled to Feustel, so that he can take over the business side of the affair.
