This building is north and some east, across the street, from the Botanical Museum. It is new, [[underlined]] and not [[/underlined]] yet fully equipped.
Dr. Diels informed me that the grounds hereabouts were first public (royal or state) property. It was decided to sell out, but reserve a part of the land for the garden and some public buildings. The departments of Botany, Zoology and Geology will be located here, - it is expected. The humanities will stay in the old building in Berlin, - also medicine.
The ground here is somewhat rough, and is the loamiest around. Berlin.

I returned to Berlin at 2:45 P.M. and secured a lunch at the Pension. We then packed and left for Leipzig at 6.28 P.M. Paul did not get his laundry, and arranged to have it sent to Jena.
The country from Berlin to Leipzig is a flat plain. The harvest is on.
We saw an aeroplane near Leipzig. We reached Leipzig at 8.43 P.M., and put up at the Kistner Pension, - a very pleasant, homelike place.
I stood a long time on the street - at Augustus platz, before Paul and Bertha succeeding in finding the place. My pile of baggage attracted some attention so late in the evening. 
While waiting I noticed that young fellows to tried to make up with girls on the street uniformly failed. A better lot than in Berlin!
