Overview

Letter

[...] I propose to arrive in Vienna next Tuesday morning about ten o'clock [...] Of course I shall stay only a few days and I shall bring with me a small sum of money necessary to settle my most urgent affairs.—

Please tell my friend Standhartner this. Give my regards to Cornelius and tell him it would be nice if he would go with me at once to Starnberg, where we could spend the summer very pleasantly. At any rate, let him be prepared. [...]
