1896

1. His own account was given Fritz Koegel's compilation of Nietzsche's aphorisms on eternal recurrence to look through GA 28, chapter 18 (the volume; the document itself is not served)
   In his own words (APC1928)

   Thus in my glimpse of Nietzsche's soul in 1896 there appeared before me what one who looked toward the spirit had to suffer from the conception of nature prevailing at the end of the nineteenth century.

   Was nach dieser Richtung Nietzsche erlebt hat, das stand in vollster Lebhaftigkeit im Sommer 1896 vor meiner Seele.

2. His own account spent several weeks in the Nietzsche archive at Naumburg, ordering Nietzsche's library at his sister's request Naumburg GA 28, chapter 18 (the volume; the document itself is not served) undated in the text; the same chapter dates the Koegel compilation to the summer of 1896 and Selg dates the weeks at Naumburg January 1896
   In his own words (APC1928)

   In this way I was enabled to spend several weeks in the Nietzsche archives at Naumburg.

   Ich habe dadurch mehrere Wochen im Nietzsche-Archiv in Naumburg zubringen dürfen.
