London 69 Dean St Soho Febry 12th 1839. My dear Sir.
In the first place let me acknowledge myself a bad correspondent, – in matters of real business I believe I do not neglect, but when it is to write to a friend it is impossible to do so in the midst. of a world of interactions and this winter I have had so many things on my mind that I have not found no quiete moment, altho’ each succeding Tuesday & Friday (most days) have reminded me of the occassion – however I hope you will excuse me and than I shall be happy. –
I was much astonished at the letter I received in Octbr not being in your hand writing, altho’ I read along I was sure it was your inditing I was sorry to find that Illness had been the reason, but it is a good Illness to get over, I have never been ill since I had the measels, about 10 years ago: – so you may reckon upon a good long phase of health.
I have only received your Rondo of 43 with in the last few days (on the 9th Febr) . and I will let Made DulckinDulcken, Marie Louise (1811-1850) have an copy the moment it is engraved – This I promised to her and she ought to know by the strictness with which I kept my promise to Mrs Anderson that I aways keep my promises – – I have never had any quarrel with her but I fear these disaprovals arise more from her husband than herself. – I found so much disadvantage from giving the work to one player exlusively before that I intend not to do it again.
I have also received your sonata for Violoncello opus 45 which we can publish on 28th Febr as I believe you already know through the MoschillesMoscheles, Ignaz (Isack) (1794-1870) . – These two are most charming compositions and quite worthy of yourself and I shall do the best to get own musical publicat to enjoy the friends with me. –
We have been doing your delightful Psalm op 42 at the Royal Academy and we hope to do it at Exeter Hall during the Spring – on the 1st of March we are going to perform the St Paul again at Exeter Hall, upon its performance I will write you another letter to make up for my long silence. – I have heard it reported that you are likely to visit London this spring – it would be very delightful if true – but what you have said when I saw you. I almost fear it will be the fact. –
Would you cut off the slip at the end of this letter and send it to Mess: Breitkopf & Haeertel as I much want the full score of your Psalm . –
You will be pleased to hear that Clara has arrived safely in St Petersburg after rather a rough journey. She had nothing when I heard from her. – Bye the bye you have had me “on the Hip” as our Boxers say a long time my not bad correspondance, more I will “have at you”. Pray how does the song go on which you were to write for Clara? I suppose I must even force myself by thinking the longer I wait the better it will be, as every thing you do is better than the last. –
I was glad to find that the Leipzigers received Clara so cordially during her flying visit. It is an absolut feather in her career to be the favourite, of these judging Germans. –
Pray make my kind remambrances to to Made Mendelssohn. I had the pleasure of sending her a copy of your Psalm thro’ Breitkopf & Haertel I hope she received safely. Believe me to remain my dear Sir Yours very truly
J. Alfred Novello.
