To: Nikolaus Zmeskall von Domanovecz
Baden, October 24, 1815

 

       Well – and also ill-born (as we all are)

       We are at Baden today and are bringing to that admirable naturalist Ribini a collection of fallen leaves – Tomorrow we shall descend on you, i.e. visit you and so forth.

                                              Your most cordial
                                                                         L. v. Beethoven
