My dear Sir!

herewith I send you‡ the Finale of the Second act. it requires‡ a great care in the execution of it‡ if it shall effectuade entirely. I hope you will be convinced that the choruses in our Oberon are a substantial part of the opera, and that therefore you‡ will give me‡ good Singers.

as‡ I can not have your answer here at Dresden, I would be delighted if you were so kind to write me a few lines at Paris, where | I hope to arrive in the last week of February. I should‡ like‡ to know if the Reharsals will begin very soon,‡ and if the Opera will‡ yet been‡ performed on Easter-monday.

My Adress in‡ Paris is at‡ Maurice Schlesinger’s Marchand de Musique du Roi. Rue de Richelieu 97.‡

with all my heart, I am‡ sincerely Yuors‡
