day of departure; farewell calls, and in the evening several friends at the railway station. A wretched night, though soon got over. At eleven o’clock we were here in Bayreuth—Brange, Marke, Putz, Rus, Rausch, Viktor, dogs and people, all in a veritable jubilee! Found various matters awaiting us, and above all took our rest.
