Anderson v1 pg450 - letter #469


        Here, dear and beloved T[reitschke], is your song! [WoO 94] I have read with great pleasure your corrections for the opera! [‘Fidelio’] And now I feel more firmly resolved to rebuild the desolate ruins of an old castle.

                                                                    Your friend
                                                                                      Beethoven
