Here, my dear Huber, you are receiving the promised copper engraving [Anderson footnote: “…Blasius Höfel’s 1814 engraving after Letronne’s pencil portrait of Beethoven…”]. Since you yourself thought it worthwhile to ask me for, surely I need not fear to be accused of vanity in letting you have it ––
Except my good wishes, and think now and then with pleasure of your friend
Ludwig van Beethoven
who sincerely esteems you.
