separately. He says that he knows papa intimately. I am now going
for a little to the play. Next time I will write more fully, but
I can't possibly go on to-day, for my fingers do ache uncommonly.

Munich, October 11th, at 1/4 to 12 at night, I write as
follows:--I have been at the Drittl comedy, but only went in time
for the ballet, or rather the pantomime, which I had not before
seen. It is called "Das von der fur
Girigaricanarimanarischaribari verfertigte Ei." It was very good
and funny. We are going to-morrow to Augsburg on account of
Prince Taxis not being at Ratisbon but at Teschingen. He is, in
fact, at present at his country-seat, which is, however, only an
hour from Teschingen. I send my sister, with this, four preludes;
she will see and hear for herself the different keys into which
they lead. My compliments to all my kind friends, particularly to
young Count Arco, to Madlle. Sallerl, and to my best of all
friends, Herr Bullinger; I do beg that next Sunday at the usual
eleven-o'clock music he will be so good as to make an
authoritative oration in my name, and present my regards to all
the members of the orchestra and exhort them to industry, that I
may not one day be accused of being a humbug, for I have
everywhere extolled their orchestra, and I intend always to do
so.
