Richard Wagner to Otto Wesendonck

June 20, 1853 · Zurich

Letter

[To Herr Otto.] Your disposals are excellent, best friend : I thank you for them from my heart. To enter my fresh indebtedness in a manner worthy to arouse your confidence, I am paying an old debt to-day : * please give your wife the accompanying sonata, my first composition since the completion of Lohengrin (six years back !). You soon shall hear from me again : but first send us news how you're faring yourselves. Your Richard Wagner. Zurich, June 20, 1853.
