| Contents | hopes that the Schillerfest was a success; it is always the same story, that only a few people do the work involved; what are the news from Helmstedt? [Magdalene Hertz giving birth to her son Walther]; what are the news from Liese [Louise Derenberg]?; Mary should not worry that she cannot be at his side; he does not need her commiserating him; what he needed was Mary as friend with whom he can discuss things and prepare for a dark future; the servants were very kind to him; he was never afraid, only very disappointed and disgusted by the chaos in Florence where he thought he could function as 'cosmic power which brings order'; 'the grotesquely horrible real world ... threatened to pull me into the whirling eddy like the head of [Max] Klinger'; every morning he had to have his urine examined; is very pleased that the test results were negative; Montaigne had to do the same thing in Florence; the medical doctor [Edgar Kurz] is 'without conscience' as Kurz did not accept that it was he who did nothing to save the child of Warburg's best friend and, in consequence, the child died [Henkie Jolles]; at the same time Warburg copied the Inventory of furniture used by people dead for 500 years; calls it a 'macabre activity'; Professor [E.] Goldmann, [Robert] Davidsohn, [Arthur] Hesse have helped Warburg; her diary shows him Mary oscillating between self-confidence and remorse; these are not the problems, the problem is that both of them are 'amateurs' of life; they do not calmly move towards an invisible goal, but they try to smooth out short-term problems; hopes that both of them will learn to do things better; refers to the [Georg] Roemer letter |
