Monday a.[nd] Tuesday, July 19 and 20, 1915 • B. – Monday
I keep saying the same litany –
when will we – go! – It’s been
eight days now since the order arr.[ived]
that the Austrians are to leave.
My forced good mood is disappearing as
time goes on; when I think about everything
that still awaits us, I see lose
my sense of humor completely; and it’s been
the only thing that has kept me from despair until now.
