[Given by L. Ramann, "Franz Liszt," vol. ii., 1.]
Monsieur le Baron,
It is very difficult to reply to so gracefully flattering a letter as your Excellency has been good enough to write to me.
I must nevertheless say that I wish with all my heart and in all ways that I could answer it. I shall reach Weimar, bag and baggage, towards the middle of October, and if I succeed in communicating to others a little of the satisfaction I cannot fail to find there, thanks to the gracious kindness of their Highnesses and the friendly readiness of your Excellency, I shall be only too glad.
Meanwhile I beg to remain, Monsieur le Baron, with respectful compliments,
Yours obediently,
Cologne; September 12th, 1862. F. Liszt
