Friday, October 13:
R. works diligently, although he had a bad night. I nothing but children, but wrote a few lines to Claire. Mannheim sends money for Kienzl, which is used to pay Hermine. Letter from my father, who seems to have got pleasure from mine.
In the evening sang songs with the children, and Fidi joined in roaring, which made us all laugh loudly. My mother sends a copy of the Revue Positive, in which the notable scholar Littre says the same silly things about Germany as any ordinary Frenchman.
