Wagner's Letters

Richard Wagner to Theodor Uhlig

Undated

Overview

A brief postscript to his previous letter: Wagner asks Uhlig to forward any honorarium for Siegfried to Sulzer in settlement of a debt, notes that Frau Ritter will give a hundred thalers for Minna, and asks Wigand to send him Feuerbach's complete works at Berne.

Letter

Dear Theodor,

Two words as postscript to my last letter. If you should receive an honorarium for Siegfried, do enclose the money — in case you get it by the end of this month — to Sulzer, with the remark that I had myself intended it to discharge a debt to Sulzer. If you can only get it later, or if it is promised to you, do let Sulzer know that you are expecting money from me; that you will shortly see about the settlement of a debt to him in my name.

Frau R. will give you one hundred thalers for my wife.

One more important thing.

Ask Wigand to send me the complete works of Feuerbach to Berne, and write and tell me at what bookseller's I shall find them. Farewell.

Your

R. W.

If you write only to me, address to K., Berne, poste-restante.
