To: Ignaz Franz Castelli
Vienna, May 25, 1813

Anderson v1 pg417 - letter #423


       Be so kind as to let me know – my dear C[astelli], when you could show me one or two of the opera libretti you promised me – But I am going to Baden the day after tomorrow. So will you please decide now whether you would like me to go to you or would prefer to come to me, that is to say, tomorrow.  I leave it to you to fix the time.  If you could make it about noon, that would suit me best.  But that depends entirely on you – Please let me have a favourable reply.  I remain

                      Your most devoted servant
                                                                    Ludwig van Beethoven

       NB. My rooms are in Pasqualati’s house on the Schotten-bastei – on the 4th floor.
