Letter

October i, 1857.* [To Otto Wesendonck!\ Thus, dear friend, you also receive your first [nominal ? ] rent from me. In time I hope to get the length of offering you the actual equivalent : perhaps it's not so far off now; then you shall say — " Hei, unser Held Tristan, wie der Zins zahlen kann ! ! " — And so for to-day, as for ever, my heartiest thanks again for all the goodness and kindness you have shewn me ! Your Richard Wagner.
