Friedländer wanted to go home; [Ernst] Zimmermann and H. Ulmann wanted to take part, but both were too drunk and Seger had no guitar so that nothing came of it; Zimmermann is quite immature, but full of himself, but Warburg and Max Semrau have fun with him, explaining things wrongly etc.; e.g. Warburg explained that beer was transported from Austria to Italy packed flat like a board, that was the reason why it was called 'Tafelbier'; Zimmermann fell for it; Warburg can hear Bersaglieri music from the bank of the Arno
