Here, dear friend, is the letter from Prague about my opera. You may use it if you think it wise to do so – As you have already been so very kind to me, pray do not be annoyed with me if I ask you to enquire whether I can have the University Hall twice or perhaps even three times – My brother believes that once we know this, everything else will be arranged quite easily –
God bless you, dear brother poet, dear brother in Apollo.
Your
Beethoven
