| Your letter has made me very happy, and I am profoundly grateful for your friendship and for the goodwill to me that you expressed in it. The more love and respect I had for your late husband, the more deeply I felt the loss that has affected you. I was pleased to learn that you intend to continue the business, and that I be will remaining in personal communication with such a sympathetic family concern.
| |
| | |
| Since my opera will be given in [[Hamburg]] this winter, then I shall see you all again. Until then (I shall probably come in January) I shake all your hands warmly. Please give my warm regards to dear Frau Delaprée. I hug Daniel and and all the children!
| |
| | |
| Until we meet, dear, good, highly respected Frau [[Selma Rahter|Rahter]]
| |
| | |
| Your most devoted,
