To [Ferdinand
Ries, Vienna
[Heiligenstadt, Summer, 1802]
Anderson v1 pg76 - letter #61
Be
so kind as to inform me whether it is true that Count Browne has
already given the two marches to be engraved [Opus 45] -- I am
very anxious to know this; -- I invariably expect you to tell
me the truth -- You need not come to Heiligenstadt, for I have
no time to waste.
