Warburg as Napoleon 'grotesque' and 'tasteless'; Aby S. Warburg, who is a fearful man, 'cautiously cutting his coupons', must have looked stupid in the guise of man bursting with energy; the piece they played is sentimental, cheaply blasphemous, the text is poor and the allusions to people very tactless; it should never have been printed; Caesar H. [Hinrichsen?] is much nobler than the whole Russian society; 'Alsterufer' Warburgs have a problem when they try to perform in public; hopes that Elly [Warburg, née Simon] will see through it all; hopes that Charlotte and Moritz had a good time in Berlin; Warburg envies them having seen the Arnold Böcklin exhibition; has Charlotte ever read the letters of the sister-in-law of Louis XIV, Pfalzgräfin Liese-Lotte?; is certain that Charlotte would like them;Mary sends greetings and is pleased that they were spared such an entertainment on the eve of their wedding |
