[Here Liszt writes out a 5-measure excerpt of piano music]
If you agree with this version, write me simply Yes to the
address of Richard Wagner, Zeltweg, Zurich. I shall get there
next Sunday, and stay some days with our great friend. At the
beginning of November I shall be back in Weymar.
Hearty greetings from yours in all friendship,
F. Liszt
Stuttgart, October 8th, 1856.
In No. 3 (in the first two bars) the F seems to me the right

[Here, Liszt illustrates with a musical score excerpt]
instead of: -
[Here, Liszt illustrates with another musical score excerpt]
Will you leave these little alterations to me in the proof?
164. To Dr. Gille, Councillor of Justice at Jena
[An ardent friend of Liszt's, a promoter of musical endeavors, a
co-founder and member of the Committee (General Secretary) of the
Allgemeine Deutsche Musikverein, is at the head of the Liszt
Museum in Weimar, and lives in Jena, where he is Prince's Council
and Councillor of Justice.]
Zurich, November 14th, 1856
My very dear Friend,
I am heartily rejoiced at the honorable proof of the sympathy and
attachment of our Circulus harmonicus Academiae Jenensis, which
was prepared for me for the 22nd October by your kindness, and I
give you my warmest thanks for it, begging you to be so good as
to pass them on also to our friends Stade and Herr Schafer, whose
names strengthen the diploma.
