There is a saying that if one brings a fummel to Dresden from Maissen ? the authorities will reward with a prize of .75 Prof. D. brought his safely through & gave it to me. It seemed a pity to break it, so we poked a hole in the underside, inserted into the cavity, one by one a pound of chocolates & carried it out to the Drude ‘s Monday evening when we went out to dinner. It was a great success thus & created a deal of merriment, especially as Fritz pasted the whole over with sticking-plaster & none could guess why the fragile fummel had grown so heavy.

The different schools here are distinguished by their caps & yells are unknown.
