Diary Entry of April 7, 1871
Good Friday is marked by the children's coughs, which keep them from church, and by the final reading of Nietzsche's essay. Berlin lodging arrangements are settled, making the coming departure feel definite. Tristan music in the evening gives the day a solemn emotional close.
Friday, April 7:
Good Friday. The children do not go to church; their bad coughs are still persisting. Final reading of the essay. Letter from my friend Hedwig; the accommodation arrangements in Berlin have been made. And so everything is ready, and we leave next week.
In the evening music from Tristan.
