Monday, October 16:
Richard spends the morning on corrections, to my sorrow, since I should prefer to see him getting on with Goetterdaemmerung. But this is still occupying him; he is even thinking of the third act, and yesterday ran back upstairs, though he had already broken off, because “the right thing had just come” to him.
Letter from Marie Schleinitz, who is very much in favor of the laying of the foundation stone. But no news from Brandt, none from Kathchen, nothing which could be regarded as definite. I am constantly with the children, which tires me greatly. In the evening still a little Carlyle.
