Overview

A brief note: banker Mendelssohn of Berlin will shortly pay Minna the 250 thaler she needs, and Wagner promises fuller and better news soon.

Letter

Dear Minna,

Either at the time I am writing, or at any rate within the next few days, you will receive from banker Mendelssohn of Berlin the 250 rthr you now require. — Don't be vexed with me for this brief note to-day; you shall soon hear more from me, and that good, I hope. All I wanted to-day was to send you the message above.

Kind love from

Thy Richard W.
