Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of October 28, 1871

Overview

Rothschild finally sends Cosima the overdue money, easing one practical anxiety. She visits Marie Muchanoff with Nietzsche and admires her friend's goodness, while Wagner continues working on the Auber essay. Childcare and hostess duties press heavily on Cosima, and Marie reports that the German Empress dislikes the Kaisermarsch.

Letter from Rothschild, who now at last has sent me my 1,000 francs. I visited Marie M. with Prof. N.; great admiration for this good friend, who spends the evening with us, along with Countess B.

R. is still working on Auber. I am still much pressed, with child-cares and hostess duties. Marie M. relates that the Empress of Germany does not like the Kaisermarsch.
