Got the first of a fine new series of German stamps, each portraying the head of some great statesman, poet or artist. Got 30 pfennig [pence] Lessing. I must get the rest, both unused and used. Saw some time ago in the paper that the minister for post decided to have the head of Frederick the Great on the 10 pfennig one, the most common of the set, and there is a great row going on between monarchists and republicans, the latter objecting to the 10 pfennig as monarchist propaganda. – Am getting on well at harmony. Can now end with sept and make little modulations instinctively without reasoning them out at all.
