Dear Minna!
I beg you to send me here the silver work (laurel wreath and music sheets, etc.) which was once presented to me in Paris, as well as the silver goblet which I was given at the Zurich concerts. I have promised to show them to the King.
I hope you will comply with this reasonable request. With affectionate greetings,
Your
Richard
