To: Nikolaus Zmeskall von Domanovecz
Vienna, May 10, 1813

Anderson v1 pg416 - letter #421


       Please be careful, dear Z[meskall], not to let out anything of what I told you about Prince L[obkowitz], because things are really moving forward now and because without that step they would never have reached their present stage of complete certainly and smooth working – Every day I have tried to find you at the S[chwan], but without success. –
 
                                                                              Your
                                                                                    Beethoven
