Thursday, October 21:
R. had a good night, and at breakfast we have to laugh heartily when he says to me, "I am very... run down; for a moment I did not know what I was."
He works and wants to know from me what the cardinal virtues are, is annoyed about them. We take a trip together to the Palazzo Loredano, which he likes very much, and then to the Modena, he believing me to be very fond of it, but he has no desire to have it.
In the evening we chat, and our conversation touches on the Cologne Cathedral festivities, in which Herr Oppenheim played a major role.
