Sunday, June 25:
On the next day that wish was not granted! Whether it was the Strauss matter which affected him, or perhaps Voltz. [this name altered in an unknown handwriting to "Batz"], or even indeed the discussion in the morning about Jouk.’s disordered circumstances, who could say? He is overcome by a very severe spasm and remains in a tortured mood all day long. Since the children are away on an outing with Gross, the presence of our three friends is a torture to him, and, in spite of a few cheerful moments, he is deeply upset. An interview I had this morning with the mayor has given me the assurance that for the time being R. will not be bothered with Batz-Voltz matters.
