            Leipzig 29 Nov. 1838. My dear Sir
As you never answer my letters I shall now only write in order to say that my brothers house (Mrss. Mendelssohn & Co. at Berlin) will draw for the 20 Guineas, which I am to receive some time in the next month. As for the Sonata with violoncello you never returned answer, & I shall soon be obliged to proceed with the German publication (if no answer is also one) although you wished to have such a thing in your last letter, but that is so long ago! – I could tell you something of a bumper Concert which Clara gave here last month, of the very warm & friendly reception she met with & shall always meet with in this country, of the „in verdure clad“ which she sang very exquisitely & to my greatest treat – but I won’t tell you anything, because you never tell anything in return and so I am very truly yrs
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
