Dear Zmeskall

As
I shall hardly go to the Countess d/eym's today, for I have had
a heavy cold since yesterday evening, I recommend her to you in
connexion with the rehearsal. So far as her interpretation is
concerned, seeing that I was at her house yesterday, it will not
be necessary for you to tell her anything about that, but something
perhaps about her tempo - Do tell me whether I am right in thinking
that the name of the captain who whistled at Tost's on several
occasions is Gilg? - It is really necessary for me to know this
