Anderson v1 pg226 - letter #210


       It so happens that Kraft has offered to play with us today.  It would be ungracious not to accept his offer; and I myself do not deny, just as you too will certainly admit, that his playing affords us all the greatest pleasure.  Ask Mihalkovics to go to you this evening, for we can easily make use of him.  I will fetch him at about seven o’clock, and you too, if you would like to go with us.  And please let us have your stands and your viola.
                                                                                 Your
                                                                                       Bthvn

       In any case make sure of having Mihalkovics, for we need him.  Please come too, and I will fetch you.
