Diary Entry of November 11, 1876

Overview

Spent the morning on the Palatine and in the Forum with the children, in weather so fine it felt almost blissful. The afternoon in the Villa Borghese seemed dreamlike, and later calls brought an unexpected reunion with Princess Wittgenstein after nearly sixteen years, along with the Helbigs.
