Dear Brother!
So
that you may know at any rate where I am and what I am doing,
I really must write to you. First of all, I am well, very well.
My art is winning me friends and renown, and what more do I want?
And this time I shall make a good deal of money. I shall remain
here for a few weeks longer and then travel to Dresden, Leipzig
and Berlin. So it will certainly be six weeks at least before
I return-
I
hope that you will enjoy living in Vienna more and more. But do
be on your guard against the whole tribe of bad women. Have you
been to see Cousin Ells yet? YP[ruou might write to me here if
you care to, and have time to do so.
P[rince]
Lichnowsky will soon be on his way back to Vienna. He has already
left Prague. Should you need any money, you made make bold to
him, for he still owes me some. And now I hope that your life
will become more and more pleasant and I trust that I shall be
able to contribute to your happiness. All good wishes, dear brother,
end think sometimes of your true And faithful brother
