1878

"Thursday. 17. Read my new story to G. this evening as far as the end of the third chapter. He praised it highly. I have finished "Die Familie" by Riehl, a delightful book. I am in the Choephorae now. In the evenings we are reading History of Thirty Years' Peace and Beranger. Thoroughly disappointed in Beranger."
