Richard Wagner to Otto Wesendonck

March 31, 1858 · Zurich

Letter

Telegram. Lucerne, 8.55 [A.M.] Zurich, 31 March 58 ; 9.10. To Herr Otto Wesendonck, Zurich. The trusty Kapellmeister unfortunately cannot conduct the concert to-day. Saint Gotthart has taken toll, and given him in exchange a violently orthodox catarrh. The concert shall still be conducted, though, if the bandsmen only keep in good tune* Your Richard Wagner.
