Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of May 24, 1877

Overview

R. received discouraging correspondence from Leipzig and ended the negotiations there, which may ultimately prove fortunate. The day was otherwise taken up by practical burdens, including the troublesome Unger matter, an unavoidable photography session, and an evening reception.

Thursday, May 24:

R. receives unpleasant letters from Leipzig and has to break off negotiations there, which is perhaps a good thing. Meanwhile, however, there is Herr Unger to look after, who has already proved very expensive and not very rewarding. Session with the photographer, not to be avoided.

In the evening we hold a reception.
