Anderson v1 pg473 - letter #501


Honoured Friend!

       Another point still to be added is that Wolf also enclosed in his communication to the Oberstburggraf the supplements, testimonials, and so forth – What can be done about this? – I will call on you tomorrow morning.  I think that we should consider very carefully whether the affair can proceed in this way – The Archduke thinks that the written statement, apart from implying that too much reliance is placed on magnanimity, is very good –

       I embrace you with all my heart –

       Do not be annoyed with me for pestering you so much.  No doubt the matter will soon be settled.

                                                                         Your
                                                                               Beethoven
