Letters from Loldi! R. still has business affairs to settle, none of them encouraging. I give lessons and write the necessary letter. War has broken out between Russia and Turkey. At the same time, our industry is in such a pitiful state that one cannot help feeling concern.
Saturday, April 28:
Final lessons and domestic arrangements. Many unpleasantnesses for R. Herr Bate, his agent, turns up as representative against R., of the rights of Messrs. Brandt, Brückner, Hoffmann, Doepler! R. also has to write to Councilor D. regarding Leipzig and Vienna. On top of this the W. Societies are upset by this turn of events, and news of the legal action against Fürstner! R. very vexed. Also Herr Unger helpless and complaining, though it was R. who got his engagement in Leipzig!
