Overview

Telegraphed reply to Heckel's query about a newspaper report that the festival might be held at Darmstadt: the report is a misunderstanding, the choice of Bayreuth is final, and the Mannheim Call may go out.

Letter

Darmstadt unknown. Town-councillor Bodmer's offer. All a misunderstanding. Bayreuth decision unalterable. Call can go out unhindered.

Wagner.
