My Dear and Beloved Countess,
I was greatly delighted to receive your last few lines. But at the moment I can’t find your dear letter so as to be able to answer it fully –
As to the trio, just let me know whether you want to have it copied at your home or whether I am to undertake to have this done. It is all the same to me, but whatever is most convenient to you will please mne best – Herr Linke, who is right busy on account of his concert tomorrow, is in a hurry. So all that I can add is that I wish you and your children all that is pleasant and delightful and that I shall seize the next opportunity to be with you all. Until then all good wishes from me, dear and beloved Countess.
Your true friend
Beethoven
