Friday, July 17 (17th of July 1874) 

I feel quite indisposed and can hold myself erect only with an effort. Glorious weather, an incomparably fine summer, the heat not oppressive. R. works on his third act, but has many venations, among other things the loss of the arrangement of the and act of Götterdämmerung, which would now be very necessary to him. In the evening visit from the Feustel family. No music.
