seems to me to be a little too pretty to be strong, at least as far as its coloring goes. 

This morning I went to a queer, round German church, the [[strikethrough]] franz [[/strikethrough]] Frauenkirche, with five galleries, & boxes as in a theatre; & then to the Cathedral where they have men & boys, & solo singers from the opera-house & orchestra for mass, the king here being a catholic. the music was very beautiful.

Tonight, fortunately for me, the 1st performance of the season "Tristan & Isolde", is given 'in' the opera house, parquet seat, 8th row from front, 5M 50ft. (I did not dare to go up high for fear I could not see, which is what has happened to people in the house here who bought the cheaper tickets). 

Tomorrow, at 7:05 A.M., I start for Nürnberg, & expect about my worst day of travel. The weather is hot & sultry, & I must be nearly ten hours on the way, changing cars two or three times. 

I shall not have such a long III class journey again until on my way back from Cologne
