Dearest Richard,
Over America I had forgotten Hanover, and must not omit once more to point out Wehner to you as the best advocate of your claims there. If the matter of the honorarium can be arranged according to your wish, he will be the most likely man to do it. From Joachim I have heard nothing since the Dusseldorf festival. Wehner lives at Hanover, and is in particular favour with His Majesty, and he will be most eager to do you a little service if you will ask him in a friendly manner. At the end of December, about Christmas, I shall be with you. Then we will feed like the gods on your Rhinegold and Valkyrie, and I, too, shall contribute some hors d'oeuvre.
Franz Liszt
