Sunday, July 8:
Drive in the morning to the Königstein, splendid woods. At lunch our friends from Mannheim and R. Pohl — also Prof. grows more profound each time.
After the reading a conversation develops with the Old Catholic priest about religion; R. speaks in favor of reviving the monasteries, from which all activities should originate — visiting the poor, the imprisoned, all those who are suffering in any way. He says, “If, before I met my good wife, I had known of any such monastery, I should have entered it and not lightly left it again.”
