Miss Kraus turns up, Wilfort is absent – I impress upon her the need for discretion with regard to Wolf; 1 Dr. Salzer appears, I make myself even clearer. — At 2:30, the last example [for Free Composition ] entered – I am completely exhausted. — Hoboken informs me that he is building; I congratulate him most heartily; 2 he cannot repress his difficulties {3906} with respect to his wife! He will remain in Vienna, so long as it is actually possible! He will ask the architect Schmid 3 to show us the building [plans]. — I stay at home. — To Deutsch (by telephone): concerning the discussion with Hoboken.

Footnotes

1 This probably concerns Hans Wolf’s absence from the Friday analysis seminar in order to attend his parents’ silver wedding anniversary in Lucerne; see the diary entry for April 19, and for April 30 (recording his return to Vienna).

2 In January 1934 Hoboken had bought a plot of land in Vienna, on which to build a house; see the diary entries for January 6, 8, 9 and 13, 1934.

3 Possibly Heinrich Schmid (1885–1949), a pupil of Otto Wagner, who designed numerous buildings for the city of Vienna during the interwar period.
