Sunday, July 15:
R. goes early in the morning to the fountain, Fontaine de Soif, then breakfast. As he is resting a while and reflecting, he exclaims to me, “All of it is possible only because I have you; even peace and solitude appeal to me only when I can tell myself that you are with me.”
A wet day; in the evening, the arrival of General Grant and his family, and we have a short meeting with him. He can speak neither German nor French!
