            Piazza di Spagna no. 5. My dear Sir
According to my promise I enquired yesterday about the ceremonies which are to take place in St. Peter’s. I understood they will begin on Sunday, when the corpse is taken from the capella Sistina to be solemnly exhibited at St. Peters; that day at 10 o’ clock the first requiem shall be sung, and they continue with it every day afterwards. Which composition of the requiem they were to begin with, Palestrina’s or another’s, I could not make out; at all events there will be no great musical performance before Sunday morning; the ceremonies at the Quirinal till he is brought to the Sistina are already acquainted to you, I dare say. – Allow me to ask, whether it was for Saturday evening you did me the honour of inviting me?
I am dear Sir very truly yoursFelix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
