273. To Frau Reisenauer-Pauly in Konigsberg
Dear Madam,
It is one of my duties to deal sparingly in letters of introduction. Still I am quite willing to repeat my opinion that your son Alfred is a highly gifted and brilliantly aspiring pianoforte-player.
Should this conscientious opinion enable him to obtain further recommendations, he is free to make use of it.
Yours sincerely,
F. Liszt
Budapest, January 29th, 1881
