            Sir
Mess. Breitkopf & Härtel told me that you expressed the wish, during your stay here, of publishing some of my works in your country. I felt very much honoured by this communication, and obliged for your kind intentions, and as I think of publishing towards the end of next month a new grand Trio for the Pianoforte, with accompts of Violin & Violoncello, which I should like to lay before the English public, I beg to ask whether you would have the copyright of it? I would be very much obliged if you would give me a speedy answer and tell me if the price of 10 guineas would be convenient to you, and if you like to hear from time to time from me when I have new compositions for the Piano. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedt Servt
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
Leipzig 25 Febr. 1840.
