Wagner's Letters

Franz Liszt to Richard Wagner

June 29, 1853 · Carlsruhe

Overview

Liszt writes from Carlsruhe that he will leave for Basle on 1 July and reach Zurich by mail-coach on Saturday morning, with Joachim but without Franz.

Letter

You see, dear friend, that I am approaching; and unless official impediments delay me one day, I start the day after tomorrow—Friday, July 1st—by the afternoon train for Basle, and arrive at Zurich by the mail-coach on Saturday, early in the morning. At the latest, I shall be there on Sunday at the same hour. Joachim I expect here; Franz, I am sorry to say, will not be able to come till later on.
