Tuesday, June 13:
R. had a terrible night; an abscess is forming on his gums. He has to stay away from rehearsal, which is run by Niemann, Fricke, and Richter. Herr Feustel sends us the following report. [Attached is part of a letter, stating among other things: “Present level of admission tickets: for the first performance, 702; for the second, 642; and for the third, 570.”]
A warning! Memento mori - and that divine things do not produce divinities. I take F[eustel] a letter from Councilor D., who is requesting proposals regarding the postponement of repayments.
