Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of July 23, 1869

Overview

An early sunrise with Lusch precedes a boat trip to the Rutli and a return home to find the children well. A wretched letter from Weissheimer upsets Richard, while Claire writes Cosima on business and Schure announces the start of his translation. The day ends early after a bath with Lusch.
