My Dear Friend,
The weakness in my eyes is increasing, and on that account I cannot write to you "mano propria." I wish to bring good luck to Wilhelm Franz. Meanwhile I thank you heartily for making me godfather.
In sincere friendship yours most truly,
F. Liszt
Sondershausen, June 5th, 1886

My Dear Lady,
The thanks which I have just expressed to your husband I double to you, as you have played the principal part in the family-drama of Wilhelm Franz.
With the most heartful wishes for the continued prosperity of parents and child I remain
Yours most truly,
