Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Wappenhaus
apologising for not having visited we had set out for a call upon you upon our arrival, but as it was nearly three and we had had no dinner yet and had to rest a little before the concert, we turned round half way and had to give it up. I so hoped to see one of you and went away really disappointed. We left Weimar early this morning. Now perhaps we may be in Weimar soon again and then I hope for a little longer time. Trusting that these line will find you and your daughters in good health..., 3 sides small 8vo., Erfurt, 20th January
