Letter

Dearest Richard,

My excellent friend, Felix Draseke, is on his way to you. Receive him kindly as one of ours, and reveal to him your Nibelungen treasure, on which he is worthy of gazing with heart and soul. I hope to be with you at the end of August; let me know where I shall find you then.
