{{centre|Verehrter Herr Berger!}}<br />
Die Partituren von der Serenade und Suite schicke ich Ihnen sofort. Die Stimmen bringe ich selbst mit. Ich brauche für die Suite: 1) {{sic|''einen'' Englischen|ein Englisch}} Horn; 2) ''eine'' Tuba; 3) ''Piatti, Gr[an] Cassa, Tamburo militare, Tamburino, Triangolo'' aber ''keine Harfe''. Selbstverständlich die Serenade wird ''{{sic|von|vom}} Streichorchester gespielt''. Ich habe sie Ihnen empfohlen {{sic|weil sie ausserordentlich an das Publicum gefällt|weil sie dem Publikum außerordentlich gefällt}}. Überall, wo ich sie gespielt habe, hat sie grossen Erfolg gehabt. Danke sehr {{sic|dass Sie mir sie zur Aufführung Erlaubnis gegeben haben|dass Sie mir zur Aufführung die Erlaubnis gegeben haben}}. <br />

{{centre|Most respected Herr [[Berger]]!}}<br />
I shall send you the full scores of the Serenade and Suite immediately <ref name="note1"/>. The parts I shall bring with me. For the Suite I shall require: 1) ''one'' English horn; 2) ''one'' tuba ; 3) ''cymbals, bass drum, side drum, tambourine, triangle'' but ''no harp''. Self-evidently the Serenade shall be played ''by a string orchestra''. I have recommended this to you because it is exceptionally popular with the public. It has had great success wherever I have played it. Thank you very much for allowing me to perform it. <br />
<br />
Until we meet.<br />
<br />
Your devoted,<br />
