Leipzig 31 October 1836My dear Sir George
I received yesterday two letters from my friends Mr. Klingem. and Mr. A. Novello, who tell me of the performance of my Oratorio at Liverpool and with how much care and friendship you introduced my music to the English public. I cannot let this day pass by without expressing to you my sincere heartfelt thanks for the important service which you have again done me by your kindness and friendship. Both my correspondents agree that the performance went so exquisitely well, that it surpassed all their expectations and that this was particularly owing to your exertions and labours in behalf of my work. Now you know, my dear Sir, of how great a value it is to a young man as I am to possess a friend as you are, who in every instance gives proofs of his kindness without even the probability of an occasion in which the gratitude might be expressed better than in words only, and you know of how great a value the good and careful introduction of his work must be to a young composer, who wishes to go on with his music and to pave the way for other and better works by the success of his former ones – you know all this, and you therefore must be aware to what extent I felt indebted to you at receiving those news. Be assured that this feeling will not pass by, but always remain with me, as the recollection of your former kindness has done hitherto, and that I sincerely wish for an opportunity of seeing you soon again and expressing myself how grateful I feel for all you have done for me.
As for the Oratorio itself I should be very happy if I could know your opinion and judgement of it; I am afraid your time is too much occupied for answering these lines or else I should instantly ask you to do so. I hope, as I said before, that it might incline the public to think favourably of other, better works, which I hope to write, and I know too well the greatness of the task to think that a first work of the kind might convey to others a distinct idea of what I whished to do.

Pray, my dear Sir, present my best compliments to Lady Smart and excuse this letter with its faults, I have lost the habit of writing in English, and could yet not help adressing yourself in order to say my thanks and my true gratitude. Believe me, my dear Sir George always
very truly yours
