Wednesday, February 1:
Our friend Prof. Nietzsche is ill; the other friend, Schure, sends us a raging pamphlet, by himself, attacking Germany.
We still fear French treachery regarding the capitulation. We drive into town and learn there that 85,000 French soldiers are coming to Switzerland, and Lucerne will have to take 5,000 of them. Immense excitement in the little town.
In the evening, Gibbon as usual.
