Diary Entry of August 23, 1880

The night was manageable, and breakfast was taken with everyone together. I finalized the villa rental and its initial arrangements, then R. came there later with the children. Their amazement at the suddenly created new home and his satisfaction with what I had done made the move feel secure.
