Most excellent of all Patron-mongers!
By the way, things are going just so-so!
A Cantor Fischer of Zwickau lately caught me 6⅔ Patrons, sent me 6000 marks, and asked if he might have a free seat for it. (!!!)
21st inst. Tannhäuser here.
I have no lists of rehearsals at hand; get one sent you by Feustel, or Fischer (Nibelungen-treasury).
Many hearty greetings from
Your fagged out
Richard Wagner.
