            London; Janry, 2nd 1839 My dear Sir.
I am delighted with the prospect of having your Quartetts I have already announced that two new Quartetts composed by will you will be introduced during the series of the Classical Concerts I am now only anxious to know when they will arrive my first performance is on the 28th January. The 2nd & 3rd in February and the 4th and last, the first week in March, and if I do not receive them in sufficient time to have them well rehearsed I am fearful I shall fail in keeping my word with the public which I shall be very sorry for; relative to their being secure in my possession I can assure you you may rest quite easy on that point as I will on no account let them go out of my hands without first receiving your permission to do so. when I wrote to you relative to a piano forte piece I meant the Concertante for wind instruments with piano forte which you had proposed to me in a former letter my idea in mentioning this again, was that there being so few of such pieces already written which are only appropriate to the Philharmonic Classical Concerts that there would be a great advantage in inducing you to write such a piece that it would be useful on those occasions and then by making it to go as piano forte Solo, sufficient money for the copyright might be gained. relative to the Ouv for the Military band I beg to observe, that no money can be gained by any such composition arranged as a duett unless it is made popular in a Concert Room and I do not see any opportunities for doing that therefore can for the present decide upon the purchase of it. I am most anxious to know if there is any probability of seeing you in London this year, as are many other musical friends. I saw our friend Klingemann but he cannot say any thing positive about that, therefore I have determined to write to you myself. my son is travelling with Thalberg. I understood they were to visit Leipzig, have you seen or heard any thing of them? I know that my son Frank who is a pianist will esteem it a great honor to visit you and have you by the hand. He is on his way to Petersburgh with Thalberg. Now my dear Sir not to teaze you with any longer letter I beg to subscribe myself
Yr sincere friend
N. Mori
