Diary Entry of August 19, 1876
This was a day of rest only in the sense that one group of guests was departing while another was arriving. More than 200 people gathered at the house in the evening, keeping the social pressure high. Meanwhile, it was rumored that the German newspapers were printing particularly contemptible reports.
Saturday, August 19:
Day of rest, that is to say, day of farewells and welcomings; the audience for the first series is now leaving, that for the second is now arriving. In the evening more than 200 people at our house. It is being said that the newspapers, that is to say, the German ones, are publishing very contemptible reports.
