Monday, June 12:
R. works on his letter to Schön, I have the same difficulties with the Catholic parson as with the Protestant one! A letter from Lusch in Nuremberg deeply affects me, but the girl is conducting herself well. We drive up to the theater, where R. unfortunately gets very annoyed, since work on the King’s box is making hardly any progress. In the evening we are faced with the problem of how to receive the Grand Duke of Schwerin, and it is indeed a difficult problem, since it seems the King will this time be offering no hospitality, and indeed the King is making the need to receive foreign princes his excuse for not coming at all.
