My Dear Ries –

       I would like you to ask for these works at the publisher’s for me.  He will probably act with consideration and I shall be enabled to afford a great pleasure in this way to one of my most valued and dearest friends in Vienna – No doubt you will understand this; and you yourself must certainly know that for my part I am willing to serve you most devotedly on all occasions that may arise –

                                                   Wholly your
                                                                      Ludwig van Beethoven
