Tuesday 13th (13th June, 1876)

R. had a dreadful night, and an abscess is forming upon the tooth. He is obliged to cancel the rehearsal, which Niemann, Fricke, and Richter must now conduct in his stead. — Herr Feustel sends the accompanying report,1 an admonition! Memento mori — and that things divine do not make gods of men. I bring Herr F.^[1] a letter from Councillor D.,^[2] requesting proposals concerning a postponement.
