Tuesday, January 28:

Very bad news from Bayreuth concerning Vienna: the people there have still not paid!

Discussion of the concert, visit from Marie Schl., Lohengrin may perhaps be done after all. Dentist and various visits and committee meetings. In the evening I go by myself to Frau v. Schl.; all sorts of topics are discussed.
