Cosima's Diaries
Diary Entry of May 6, 1870
Overview
Cold, miserable weather cancels the planned outing and keeps the day indoors. Wagner writes to the king and Hans Herrig while Cosima searches for birthday poems, writes to Claire, and receives Frau Schure’s letter. Wagner’s poor health worries Cosima, giving the short entry an undertone of watchfulness.
