My very honored Friend,
Your very agreeable and genial friend, Frau Major von L., sends the September leaflet about the concert in Hanover. A thousand thanks for it. .—.
On the occasion of my happy 50 years' jubilee you rejoiced me with a poem, of which Iam proud. You have admirably succeeded in coaxing such poetical euphony from an old worn-out instrument like my humble self.
Au revoir in Hanover, and friendly greetings to your family.
With thanks, yours sincerely,
F. Liszt
