1872-10-03: “. . . And aloud to Polly: Kotzebue’s: Die respectable Gesellschaft.” Yale’s George Henry Lewes Diary, as cited in George Eliot’s Knowledge of German Life and Letters by McCobb, E255, p. 216.
1872-10-04: George Eliot to John Blackwood, 4 October 1872. “We brought no books with us, but have furnished our table with German books which we bought at Frankfort, from learned writing about Menschliche Sprache and Vernunft to Kotzebue's comedies, so that we have employment for the rainy hours when once our heads are clear of aches. The certainty that the weather is everywhere else bad will help our resolution to stay here till the 12th at least. In the meantime we hope to have the proof of the Finale to Middlemarch.” GEL 5: 315
