Much-esteemed friend,
Herr von Zigesar has lately written to you to say with how much zeal and with what ever-increasing admiration and sympathy we are studying your Tannhäuser. If you could make it possible to come over for the last rehearsal on the 15th and attend the performance on the 16th, we should all be truly delighted. Let me know the day before, because of engaging a room, etc.
Cordial thanks for sending me the Faust overture.
Hoping to see you soon, your sincerely devoted F. Liszt.
