Today Herr Brückwald! Herr Brandt could not stay any longer. Renewed meetings. At last letters from Munich: of the incoming patronage-certificates, three-fifths are claimed by the treasury, two-fifths may be retained; main news: free places. In the evening Herr Brückwald; he talks about the Construction Bank, of which he is technical director, and how it is dissolving without a thought for the small shareholders, in order, under another name, to repurchase the now inexpensive building lots, which possess a higher value. Fraud everywhere.
