Anderson v1 pg366 - letter #361
P.P.
I urgently require the three songs, poems by Goethe set to music by me [Opus 83] and dedicated to Princess Kinsky. So have a copy made for me on fine paper in great haste with all speed, more quickly than is usually possible; and send me the songs by letter post. I cannot reply today to the charming letter you sent me recently.
With kind regards, your ever willing
Ludwig von Beethoven
