Sunday, October 29:
Day for games and letters; also bathing and Sismondi. I beg R. to work on the biography, but he feels no great urge, he cannot get his Qualhalla out of his mind.

Overview
Games, letters, bathing, and more Sismondi made up the rhythm of the Sunday. She again urged R. to return to the biography, but he remained trapped by his pun on Valhalla and torture, unable to shake it loose.
