Diary Entry of August 6, 1876
The day opened with a stream of arrivals, including Prince Liechtenstein, and a cheerful lunch set a favorable tone. In the evening the dress rehearsal was held without an audience, and the King reassured the speaker of his loyalty. The performance itself went smoothly and ended with bright illuminations and enthusiastic cheers for the King.
Sunday, August 6:
Several arrivals, among others Prince Liechtenstein; cheerful lunch. In the evening, dress rehearsal without an audience. The King sends for me as well and tells me that I should never have doubted that he would remain loyal to us. The rehearsal goes very well. Great illuminations and cheers for the King.
