CHOPIN.
P.S.—I have played in Edinburgh; the nobility of the neighbourhood came to hear me; people say the thing went off well—a little success and money. There were this year in Scotland Lind, Grisi, Alboni, Mario, Salvi—everybody.
From Chopin's letters may be gathered that he arrived once more in London at the end of October or beginning of November.
Chopin to Dr. Lyschinski; London, November 3, 1848:—
I received yesterday your kind words with the letter from Heidelberg. I am as perplexed here as when I was with you, and have the same love in my heart for you as when I was with you. My respects to your wife and your neighbours. May God bless you!
I embrace you cordially. I have seen the Princess
[Czartoryska]; they were inquiring about you most kindly.
My present abode is 4, St. James's Place. If anything should
come for me, please send it to that address.
3rd November, 1848.
Pray send the enclosed note to Miss Stirling, who, no doubt, is still at Barnton.
[FOOTNOTE: In this case, as when writing to Woyciechowski, Matuszynski, Fontana, Franchomme and Gutmann, Chopin uses in addressing his correspondent, the pronoun of the second person singular. Here I may also mention the curious monogram on his seal: three C's in the form of horns (with mouthpieces and bells) intertwined.]
