Diary Entry of October 11, 1869
The day is largely taken up with preparations for Lulu's birthday and little else. Telegrams from Herbeck report that Die Meistersinger is advancing energetically in Vienna. Cosima's fatigue is great enough that she sleeps most of the afternoon before Don Quixote in the evening.
Monday, October 11:
Nothing to report on this day except preparations for Lulu's birthday. Telegrams from Herbeck that Die Meistersinger is in full swing in Vienna. Still great tiredness; I sleep almost the whole afternoon. In the evening, Don Quixote.
