Was to leave for Berlin by the 6:0 p.m. And now I must write something about my feelings about leaving Hannover.
I don’t think I have ever been so happy as at Lahmayers and have never had such a number of real good friends before.

I am leaving my one and only dog behind—a charming little dog—“Puff” is. I do not regret leaving the P. de. D. or any other restaurant—but I shall miss the river, the tennis, and above all my friends—but one thing makes up for all, and a great deal more and that is that for the first time since I have met her, I shall see a lot of C. and when I think of this, all my other troubles are forgotten.
