Sunday, August 30 (30th of August 1874)

Wrote to Marie Dönhoff and other letters as well, while the children are in church and R. is working. Received calls (estate owner Rohder and wife). In the afternoon finished Wallen stein with Lusch.

In the evening a letter of 22 full sheets from an Austrian, who connects a new ethical world order with the festival theater; undoubtedly much of interest in it, but an entire lack of philosophical training. “Go hence, original in all thy glory!” is all one can say, and in this case with regret.
