Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of May 5, 1870

Overview

Nietzsche writes to Cosima while Wagner remains unwell and dissatisfied with his work. A walk offers some relief, but the lawyer’s letter introduces fresh trouble over the children’s certificates of residence. The evening is spent in conversation and practical preparation for a hoped-for outing.
