            Dusseldorf February 15th 1834My dear Sir
Accept my thanks for your very kind letter and the invitation by which you have honoured me. I should be most happy if my assistance could be of any use to you but unfortunately I am not able to anticipate that pleasure, as I shall not visit London this spring. My occupations will not allow me this year to be absent from here for more than a few days, and I must look out for another year, and a less busy time, when I hope to find an opportunity to thank you in person for your very kind and flattering letter; I need not express to you how much I regret not to visit your country, for you know how great a pleasure it always gives to me, but as it is impossible this year I must also loose the pleasure of assisting at a Concert which as it appears will be of so great an attraction, and wishing you every success to it believe me
yours truly
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
P. S. Pray, present my best regards to Mr. Alsager.
