Met there Dr. Jaeger of [[underlined]] Siemens and Halske [[/underlined]] whom I had met before.  Talked until 11:30 P.M.  [[underlined]] He says that my appearance at Siemens & Halske created a real sensation not only because product was so interesting but because contrarily to other inventors I was so frank and outspoken. [[/underlined]] Suddenly I began to have violent toothache, very disturbing.  Walked with him to Adlon.  He carried in his pocket a piece of very transparent A which he had made [[strikethrough]] but [[/strikethrough]] in open vessel with rather too much ammonia He thought it was C but I showed him it was only in A condition.
[[underlined]] July 22 [[/underlined]] Toothache all night.  Irregular sleep. insufficient rest but at 8. AM
