My Dear Good Anton!
I have just returned from the Protestant church of this town, where our marriage ceremony was performed.
My first lines are being addressed to you, in order to commend myself and my wife to your faithful, noble friendship for all time!
With the heartiest greetings likewise to your dear ones, I am ever
Your grateful friend,
Richard Wagner
