Notes and topics

"No one who knows anything of P.L. wonders at anything but my having stood it so long." During separation he wouldn't mind being in Dresden with Mariechen. Must marry within a week of separation's being over. "I should not mind a separation so much if it were not an instance of my Grandmother's power so that it enhances that superstitious feeling of the power of my family and class which I am always liable to when things go wrong." Send cheque-book which is in his writing-desk.
