Apart from visits to Dresden at the beginning of May, Brunswick a few days later, and Neustrelitz and Weimar in June, Goschen was in Berlin until 23 June, when he went to Kiel for the ‘week’. On 30 June he left Kiel for England, where he remained until 26 July. He was in Berlin from 27 July until 6 August, when he left for London. The entries in his diary for December 1914 were made when he was living in Chelsea.
