Dear Minna,
The concert really is on Saturday. I let you know this, that you may arrange accordingly in case you care to come. Unfortunately Ottilie can't take you in as well; but after all, that needn't make much difference.
I arrived late last night, and am not quite well to-day; so I must remain indoors and keep very quiet, not to be really ill tomorrow. I expect to come to Dresden Monday; so merely this information for to-day, and at the same time best love from
Thy Richard.
