            4 Hobart Place Pimlico6th Sept 1837My dear Sir George
I should have answered your kind note which I received from the hands of Mrs. Shaw, much sooner, but for the hope I had of doing so in person & coming to Hampton Court to pay you a visit, which I am afraid I must now give up as the time of my residence here is unfortunately so limited and the few days I had in London are gone by, I hardly know how. I was told at your house, that you most likely would be in town every week; is this the case? and if it is, when could I see you for a moment? If you do not come to town before Wednesday next I must endeavour to come down to you, as I must not leave this country without shaking hands with you & thanking you again for much kindness and friendship, you have shown me since we last met. Pray, my dear Sir, answer this question with a few words that I might settle my plans for the next days. I was quite delighted with Mrs. Shaw’s talent and her singing my air so perfectly well and in the manner in which I had wished it. How I should have been happy to introduce my wife to Lady Smart – I was obliged to leave her on the continent as she could not have stood the sea passage and although it is much better so I have many hours when I think it bad enough & whish I was in Germany.
You will not be angry with me for saying this candidly – at least Lady Smart will not – Pray present my best respects & wishes to her & beleave me very truly & always yours
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
