Diary Entry of April 6, 1871
Nietzsche's reading continues while letters bring practical news about Berlin, costumes, Cornelius, and family expectations. Countess Krockow hopes to see Cosima, and her father writes to Loulou in anticipation of reunion. The evening turns to the second act of Siegfried, keeping artistic work at the center of travel preparations.
Thursday, April 6:
Continuation of the reading. Letter from Countess Krockow, who is anxious to see me and will come to Berlin. Councilor Dufflipp also writes to me; he has sent off the costumes. Only dear Cornelius is leaving me in the lurch.
My father writes to Loulou and hopes to see us all soon! In the evening went through Siegfried, second act.
