Cosima Wagner Diaries

R. had another bad night! … Mr Skutsch is travelling to Leipzig to consult a lawyer! –– Sergeant Schlickau continues his teaching, and significant progress is already evident! … 

In the evening, Mr Glatz, a very cultivated and agreeably handsome man, his voice is powerful, but the outcome of the lessons he has received is hopeless! – 

A letter from E. Nietzsche; she agrees, at my request, to come and look after my children during my absence; a great reassurance.

Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche (1846-1935)

Nietzsche’s sister, married the high school teacher Dr Bernhard Förster, anti-Semitic politician and “coloniser”; Elisabeth N. was significantly involved in the falsifying publication of Nietzsche’s legacy. (Photo, 1860).
