The two overtures [Opus 117 and 113] ought certainly to follow by tomorrow evening; and thus you will have received the necessary help, but indeed only thanks to the greatest exertions. Kindly let me know whether our friends at Graz have safely received all that they expected. But all arrangements for the rehearsal should be made well in advance, since the works will arrive by mail coach, not too late, it is true, but only just in time.
