130. To the Canoness Adelheid von Schorn
Dear Excellent One,
My little travelling plans have been upset by a letter from Cosima. I did not stop either at Salzungen (where I had arranged to meet Schuberth) or at Meiningen, and came straight here on Saturday, in accordance with an invitation from Cosima to a little fete of the workpeople of the theater of the Nibelungen.
Many idle and gossiping people everywhere are troubling their heads about this theater, and are asking when and how it will be finished building. Instead of descanting foolishly or maliciously about it (the two things sometimes go together), it would be better to get a "Patronats-Schein" Next week I go to Schillingsfurst, and towards the middle of A thousand very cordially affectionate and devoted regards. F. Liszt Bayreuth, July 30th, 1873 131. To Eduard von Liszt Dearest Eduard,
August I shall be back at Weimar.
