Wagner's Letters

Richard Wagner to Mathilde Wesendonck

Undated · Zurich

Letter

[Easter 1853.] Fairest good-day! My poor wife has become quite ill ; consequently I accept to-morrow's invitation for myself alone. Presumably you are not at home to-day ; otherwise I should have inquired toward evening. At my house everything is dull and dismal, despite the growing " gaiety " of the apartments. I hope things are going right well with you, and that you are keeping Easter-day [March 27] with joy. Many kind regards to all ! Your R. W.
