Diary Entry of April 6, 1876
The day was consumed by lessons, errands, business, and anxiety about accommodations. R. issued a circular saying no free seats could be given away, while he also read about the Knights Templars and the diarist read Taine’s work sent by her mother. The evenings were lonely, and R.’s cold added to the quiet strain.
Thursday, April 6:
Always lessons, errands, business matters; worry about accommodations. R. writes a circular saying he will be unable to give away any free seats.
He is reading a history of the Knights Templars, I the last book my mother sent me, Taine’s Les Origines de la France contemporaine.
Lonely evenings, R. has a cold.
