Esteemed Friend!
Please just let me know by your servant tomorrow morning what you have found out about the Lobkowitz affair in the matter of my salary, for I have not a farthing left. – Furthermore, I do beg your brother to write to Prague so that I may receive the Kinsky salary due to me as long ago as last October – Forgive me for having to make myself a nuisance to you – I shall see you again one of these days.
Your friend who honours you
Beethoven
