[This refers to the Festival in Bonn, of several days' duration, for the unveiling of the Beethoven Monument (by Hahnel), in which Liszt, the generous joint-founder of the monument, took part as pianist, composer, and conductor.]
Will you please add to the list of your commissions:
The cross of Charles III.
and the cross of Christ of Portugal, large size? You know it is worn on the neck.
Don't lose time and don't be too long in coming.
Yours ever,
F. Liszt
July 23rd, 1845.
Kindest regards to Madame Belloni.—I enclose a few lines for
Benacci, which you will kindly give him.
