Franz Liszt to Richard Wagner

Undated

Overview

Liszt confirms that, unless an official obstacle delays him by a day, he will leave on Friday, July 1, for Basel and reach Zurich by mail-coach on Saturday morning, or at the latest on Sunday morning. He expects Joachim to join him, but says Franz unfortunately cannot come until later.

Letter

You see, dear friend, that I am approaching; and unless official impediments delay me one day, I start the day after tomorrow, Friday, July 1st, by the afternoon train for Basel, and arrive at Zurich by the mail-coach on Saturday, early in the morning. At the latest, I shall be there on Sunday at the same hour. Joachim I expect here; Franz, I am sorry to say, will not be able to come till later on.
