Diary Entry of April 10, 1877

Tuesday, April 10:

Loldchen's birthday! Celebrated amid fittings and packing, her bed and other things to be dispatched by rail.

But she has her children's party, which she much enjoys.

In the evening we call on Frau von Parseval with Lusch. A mild, fine day; R. very kind and affectionate toward me, memories of earlier times. In the morning he works steadily on Parsifal.
