            Leipzig 10th October 1836My dear Sir
I receive your letter of the 3d this moment, and hasten to write to you in return, as you wish to have an immediate answer. I have come back to this place about three weeks since, and shall stay here during the whole winter till April of next year. How happy I shall be to see you here, I need not repeat because you certainly know the esteem I have for you & the pleasure it will give me to become more acquainted with you & your talent, and I can only repeat in this respect the same things, which I said to you at Dusseldorf. Mr. Lipinsky told me some days ago he was sure you would come over but I did not believe it, as I had not heard from you for so long. I was the more glad when I received your letter, and so are many of my friends & of the musical people here, who long to see and hear you. The musical season has begun pretty well here, the orchestra perform the Symphonies in very good style & with the greatest zeal, & I hope you will have some pleasure of your residence here. It is at least now one of the best & most animated musical places of this country, & I trust I shall have some of your orchestral music performed as it ought to be. Pray bring your Symphony & the Concerto’s if possible with the instrumental parts with you; if you do not we shall be obliged to have them sent after you. Will you have the kindness before you leave London to enquire at Mr. Novello’s whether he has answered my last letter, & if not whether he will give you the answer to the many questions, I put to him. You would also oblige me if you would ask Mr. Klingemann if he has a letter or something else for me. Excuse the trouble and let me hope to see you soon here, & to see you in good spirits & healthy and happy, as I always shall wish you to be.
If you see Mr. Attwood pray remember me very kindly to him, & also my best compts to Mr. Davison (has he received my Psalm, which I gave to Mr. Novello for him?) Yours very truly
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
