Wagner's Letters

Richard Wagner to Mathilde Wesendonck

Undated · Zurich

Overview

A brief reply after a good night's sleep: the work, probably the orchestral sketch of Tristan Act I, must go on, and with it "the one thing."

Thanks! Slept well — go it must! — And the one thing! —

Sincerest greeting!
