To: Baron Ignaz von Gleichenstein
Vienna, c. 1810

Anderson v1 pg303 - letter #291


       Behold here the Imperial taste – The music has adapted itself to the poetry so splendidly that one can truly say that they are both a couple of boring sisters – Let me know whether you are all staying indoors, but inform me in good time – My cold friend, I send you all good wishes – Whatever is wrong with you, you are not really my friend – not by far as much as I am yours.
