Munich, August 6, 1838. During the night I dreamed: in Dithmarschen I was drafting a report in a poor-relief case in which I had made a mistake. The same anxious circumstances that always forced me to endure everything and keep my justification locked in my breast; no thought of the complete change in my situation.

Zurück in der alten Armensache

München, 6. August 1838. Über Nacht träumte mir: ich arbeitete in Dithmarschen einen Bericht in einer Armensache aus, in der ich ein Versehen begangen hatte. Dieselben ängstlichen Verhältnisse, die mich immer zwangen, alles über mich ergehen zu lassen und meine Rechtfertigung in meiner Brust zu verschließen; kein Gedanke an die gänzliche Veränderung meiner Lage.
