You would greatly oblige me if you would answer briefly, but at your earliest convenience, my letter, sent fully a week ago, in which I inquired whether you would consider publishing the score of my Love-Feast of the Apostles, and asked you to let me know when it was time for me to decide about the title. In case, as I hope, you decide to publish in full, I have a slight alteration to make in the part for the harp, and you will, therefore, forgive my repeated request that you will give me the opportunity of making this alteration betimes.
