I dreamed of my Max during the night. I had the little angel with me and carried him; I showed him a stork’s nest. He chattered charmingly, and I kissed him with inexpressible fervour. This dream made me completely happy.
Den 28. Oct.; year not repeated in this heading.

Ich träumte über Nacht von meinem Max, ich hatte den kleinen Engel und trug ihn, ich zeigte ihm ein Storchnest, er plauderte anmuthig und ich küßte ihn mit unsäglicher Inbrunst. Dieser Traum hat mich ganz glücklich gemacht.
