Verehrter Freund!

Ist's wahr, daß Sie in Berlin aufgeführt werden? 1 Es würde mich lebhaft interessiren, es zu hören, da ich über Berlin nach Russland reise. Vielleicht stimmt's mit den Daten.


Viele Grüße u. bonne chance!
Ihr Sie hochschätzender,

Revered Friend,

Is it true that you are to be performed in Berlin? 1 I should be keenly interested to hear it, since I shall be traveling via Berlin to Russia. Perhaps the dates may coincide.


Best wishes, and good luck,
Yours admiringly,
