The Wagners were disconcerted by Nietzsche’s remarks, fearing that he was ruining his career. At first indirectly, then finally in blunt language, they advised their young acolyte to refrain from such frontal assaults on contemporary Jewry in the future. Cosima writes to Nietzsche about “stirring up a hornet’s nest” and continues:

Do you really understand me? Don’t mention the Jews, and especially not en passant; later, when you want to take up this gruesome fight, in the name of God, but not at the very outset, so that on your path you won’t have all this confusion and upheaval. I hope you don’t misunderstand me: you know that in the depths of my soul I agree with your utterance. But not now and not in this way. I see an army of misunderstandings that will whirl up around you. (5 February 1870, Nr. 72, KGB II 2.138–40)
