345A. To Madame Malwine Tardieu
[Autograph in possession of Constance Bache]
Dear kind Friend,
I have spoken to you several times of my excellent friend—of more than 20 years—Walter Bache. He maintains himself worthily in London as an artist of worth, intelligence, and noble character. His sister has made a remarkable translation of the "Elizabeth" into English.
Receive the Baches (who pass a day in Brussels) in a friendly manner.
Cordial devotion,
F. Liszt
Bayreuth, August 9th, 1884
Tomorrow evening I shall be back at Weimar, and shall probably go to Munich for the second series of the "Nibelungen" performances (28th August).
Please give my cordial regards to Tardieu.
