Diary Entry of September 29, 1877

Saturday, September 29:

Fine weather, which I use to go for a long walk. Meeting Herr Feustel on the way, I have in R.'s name to yield to his urgings to release parts for the Ring for use in concerts in support of the school, something R. is reluctant to do.

R. works, and is satisfied with his work.

In the evening finished Phoenissae, with very little enjoyment.
