from the top of a great cliff. One could drive up, but 

 as they told us there was a short cut through the 

 wood, Mollie and I thought we would take that 

 path instead of making the steep descent by the 

 carriage road. The path proved to be a kind of rough 

 staircase in the face of the cliff. However we clambered 

 down its picturesque windings safely enough, — 

 only Mollie said, "What would Sallie say to me, if 

 she knew I had led you into a scramble like that.'*" 



Englischer Hof, Munich^ September 8, 1895 

 . . . On Monday we came to Munich. Were you ever 

 in Munich .f* To me it has the most homelike feel- 

 ing because here Agassiz and Alexander Braun and 

 all their brilliant young companions had their Uni- 

 versity Hfe, of which Agassiz told me so much and 

 so often, and which is told so vividly in his home 

 letters. I have been to the Sendlinger Thor, near 

 which he lodged in the house of the old naturalist, 

 Dollinger, but I cannot find out which house, 

 though there are some very old ones there. But 

 there have been great changes; the old gate remains, 

 but most of the landmarks belonging to that time 

 have disappeared. 



The long-anticipated visit to Montagny followed the 

 stay in Munich. "Arriving yesterday,'* Mrs. Agassiz wrote 

 in her diary on September 18, "Olympe brought me to the 

 little chamber which Agassiz and I occupied in 1859. It was 

 overwhelming at first, but still I felt very happy to be 

 here."
