{{centre|Geehrter Herr Berger!}}<br />
Alexander Ziloti, ein {{sic|furtrefflicher|vortrefflicher}} Clavierspieler (Schüler von Rubinstein und Liszt) möchte sehr im Frühling in London in einem von Ihren Concerten in St James Hall spielen. Ist es möglich? Kennen Sie seinen Namen? Ist meine warme Empfehlung von {{sic|disen|diesem}} {{sic|ausserordentlichen|außerordentlichen}} Künstler genügend? Haben Sie noch in Ihrem Concertrepertoir noch ein {{sic|bischen|bißchen}} Platz für meinen protegé?<br />
<br />
Zwei Zeilen {{sic|Anwort|Antwort}} von Ihnen erwartend.<br />
<br />
Ergebenster,<br />

P.S. Haben Sie mein Bild erhalten?<br />

[[Aleksandr Ziloti|Alexander Ziloti]], a most splendid piano player (a student of [[Anton Rubinstein|Rubinstein]] and [[Liszt]]) should very much like to play in one of your concerts in {{sic|St James's Hall|St. James's Hall}} in [[London]] in the spring. Is this possible? Do you know his name? Is my warm recommendation of this most exceptional artist sufficient? Have you still a little room in your concert repertoire for my protegé?<br />
<br />
I await a couple of lines of reply from you.<br />
<br />
Most devoted,<br />

P.S. Did you receive my picture?<ref name="note1"/><br />
