Dear Z[meskall],
No doubt you have copying clerks in your office. I should like to have the review, not on account of the flattering remarks, which mean nothing to me, but in order to remind myself that what I did not at all desire should be taken up in that sense by others [Anderson footnote: “In the issue dated July 5, 1810, of the Leipzig periodical Zeitung für die elegante Welt there was a flattering notice of Beethoven’s sixth symphony.”] – It is a poem on the death of Princess Schwarzenberg, and I have marked it with a couple of dog’s ears; and this too I should like to have copied –
