Dearest Herr Voltz!
As to the Iphigenia, you are bothering me quite unnecessarily, particularly at the present moment. Iphigenia is and remains a matter of very small importance which will hardly yield any essential profits, as the Iphigenia performances will be only a luxury of some very few theaters.
By the way, my original score has remained in Dresden: you can best trace it with Tichatschek's help. For present uses, Härtel's copy has been arranged by Tichatschek on the basis of my original score. He gave it me as a gift. I gave it to Härtels, so that they could make further copies and use them in case orders should come in.
I shall be very much pleased with your visit!
Yours,
Richard Wagner
