Aug. 24th Sunday. |
Drink one glass of Koch brunnen, Otto Freytag introduces me to his bankers, B. Berlè, where I cash my check for 2000 Marks on Herrig + Frantz. Send my “Urin” to Dr. Clouth for examination. My arm and hand appear slightly better. I drink “Offenbach Kaiser Friedrich Quelle” by direction of Dr. Clouth, who tells me that “Urin” is absolutely perfect 1/10 Mille weight only and not the faintest trace of either bile, gall, sugar or other deleterious substances. He massires my hand pretty strongly. Robert v. Bernuth returns at 10 A.M. from Mayence and takes table d’hote with us and his mother, while Fritz v. Bernuth leaves at 1 P.M. to go to the Maneuvres in the Eiffel Mountains. At 3 P.M. Wife, Robert + Meta v.
