D., MAY 22, 1915

I had hoped to have plenty to do here, but the weather cancelled our

The city is entirely unharmed and the greater part of the inhabitants

are still here. The city gives an impression similar to Zerbst--a

modern section with cottages and an old section with older houses: the

city hall, remains of the old city wall, and so-forth. The inhabitants

are prosperous. All the stores, hotels, coffee-houses and cafés are

open. Every day two of my friends (Immelmann and Lieutenant P.) and I

go to one of these coffee-houses.
