“Dear Lise! I’m currently visiting Rittmstr. von Richthofen in the hospital where he is lying in a room with Lt. Wolff. He’s just now being bandaged and in the meantime I’m waiting in the corridor so that I can draw a little sketch of Richthofen at his request. They’re both doing well – thank God – but Richthofen must still stay in bed for a long time, so I’ll make a little drawing with the bandage. Nothing of imprtance happened yesterday. – Resumed at 5:15 p.m. I drew Richthofen this morning lying in bed with the bandage around his head, and I’ll continue drawing tomorrow morning.”
