            Dear Sir,
Unfortunately I received your letter and the mailing of music much too late to satisfy one of the wishes you expressed. The Breitkopf and Härtel album has been finished since Christmas and has come out, meaning that your piano piece reached me almost two months after its completion. Also, the repertory for the subscription concerts gets determined in early January and this time so many new compositions are being submitted for the 4 remaining concerts that pre-selected pieces cannot happen. I am handing your materials as well as this letter to Mr. Kummer and hope that they get back into your hands safely. I regret that I am unable to do you a favor, as I would have been glad myself to render this service.
Repectfully, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
